The Stability

Many breakwaters were damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011. The majority of the breakwaters were destroyed or deformed under tsunami overflow; however, the failure mechanism under tsunami overflow is not clear. Therefore, with the main objective of this report being to clarify the stability of breakwaters under tsunami overflow, hydraulic model experiments and numerical simulations were conducted with Kamaishi Bay breakwaters as the subject, and failure mechanisms of the trunk of the breakwaters were examined.

Bridge Abutment

Tsunamis can seriously damage bridges in coastal areas. Studies of such damage have elucidated the action of tsunami-induced forces on girders. However, tsunami-induced erosion of bridge-abutment backfill has been largely neglected. This article investigates this little-studied topic using hydraulic model experiments and numerical analyses. The results show that a tsunami erodes the backfill close to the abutment; the scale of the erosion increases with the duration of the tsunami. By contrast, the backfill on the far side of the abutment remains relatively intact. This suggests that the presence of the abutment accelerates the erosion of the backfill in its vicinity. A numerical simulation shows that the tsunami erodes the oval conical part of the backfill on the landward side of the onshore wing. When the erosion reaches the lower end of the wing the backfill begins to flow out from underneath. Thus, an increase in the soil-cover depth of the onshore wing might help slow down the erosion.
