STUDY ON BEHAVIOR OF DRIFTING BODIES DUE TO TSUNAMI AND ESTIMATION METHOD OF THEIR COLLISION FORCES FOR CONTERMEASURES

本研究旨在探讨货柜及船舶在港口的行为。数值模拟方法已经发展到模拟集装箱-海啸的动态相互作用，模拟跟踪漂流船舶和集装箱。同时，基于数值模型和室内模型试验（包括大比例尺模型试验），提出了漂流集装箱对混凝土柱或钢柱碰撞力的估算方法。

This study is intended to investigate the behaviors of containers and vessels in ports and harbors. Numerical simulation methods have been developed to simulate a container-tsunami dynamic interaction, simulation to track drifting vessels and containers. Also, estimation method of collision force due to drifted container to concrete or stell column has been proposed based on the numerical model and laboratory model experiment which includes large scale model tests.
