Simulation of a massive tsunami and damage prediction expected to occur due to a massive earthquake.

It is possible to estimate damage and consider countermeasures! An analytical method that can reproduce the behavior of bridges when affected by tsunamis.

Our company has developed an analytical method to reproduce the behavior of bridges when subjected to tsunami effects by applying insights gained from reproduction experiments using a scaled bridge model during tsunami actions, conducting wide-area tsunami propagation analysis (2D tsunami analysis), and 3D tsunami analysis that includes the seabed, topography, and structures. It will be possible to simulate tsunamis caused by anticipated massive earthquakes in the future and utilize this for disaster prevention studies of infrastructure, including bridges. So far, we have conducted reproduction calculations of previous hydraulic experiments targeting bridge superstructures and tsunami reproduction analyses focused on thermal power plants affected by the tsunami from the Great East Japan Earthquake. By comparing the experimental results and actual damage situations, we are verifying the applicability of numerical fluid analysis for evaluating tsunami wave forces acting on various structures. **Features** - Application of insights gained from reproduction experiments using a scaled bridge model during tsunami actions - Ability to estimate damage and consider countermeasures - Useful for disaster prevention studies of infrastructure, including bridges *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
