Abstract
Quantitative estimation methods for tsunami damage to houses and humans are proposed in consideration of beach transformation and dike failure. Case studies were conducted for Kochi Coast, Japan, where dike subsidence caused by earthquake motions, topographical change by tsunami, and dike failure by toe scouring is expected. Damage to houses and humans on land increases with dike subsidence and dike failure, and public awareness of evacuation had a significant influence on the extent of human damage. The methods used in this study quantitatively evaluated the mitigation of tsunami damage achieved by making, coastal dikes earthquake- and tsunami-resistant, and raising the level of evacuation awareness.
