Started research with the aim of re-evaluating the tsunami load specifications that should be incorporated into the design of evacuation buildings.
The close-up tsunami load simulation research began with the aim of re-evaluating the tsunami load specifications that evacuation buildings should have, by gaining a detailed understanding of the behavior of loads on buildings caused by tsunamis resulting from frequent trench-type earthquakes. However, in light of the unprecedented damage caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake and the resulting large tsunami, the need for simulations that were not included in previous settings has arisen. Specifically, tsunami load evaluations for wave heights of 10 to 20 meters and assessments of tsunami loads on groups of buildings are now considered essential and urgent for the design of not only evacuation buildings but also facilities constructed along the coast and urban planning.

basic information
**Reproduction of Tsunami** - Conduct reproduction of tsunamis using tsunami tanks owned by organizations such as the Airport and Port Research Institute, and trace the loads that waves impose on buildings. - Confirm that the trends in loads over time reproduce the characteristics of tsunamis. **Simulation** - Construct a detailed building model assuming a three-story elementary school in Shikoku. - Set tsunami conditions ranging from 1 to 8 meters that could be anticipated at the time, and evaluate the dynamic load distribution on the building surface and the overturning moment. - Quantitatively assess the effect of providing openings in the building, such as pilotis, to reduce tsunami loads. **Future Simulations** - Set conditions for inundation depths with wave heights exceeding 10 meters. - Understand the effects of breakwaters and seabed topography. - Analyze not just individual buildings but also recreate streetscapes. - Simulate backwash. - Simulate floating objects such as vessels and structures (FreeMotion function). - Analyze the behavior of water inside the tank when seismic loads are applied.
