Measures for Enhancement of Earthquake Resilience of Waterfront Energy Industries
Publication: Lifelines 2022
ABSTRACT
During past earthquakes in the world, industrial parks in waterfront areas have been repeatedly damaged. The main causes of the damages to the industrial facilities were the soil liquefaction of man-made islands reclaimed from waters, its induced large ground displacements, and the earthquake ground motions amplified by soft reclaimed soil, and tsunamis. Heavy damages to energy industries by future earthquakes and tsunamis will seriously affect living and safety of the people, as well as the world-wide economic activities. The enhancement of earthquake resistance of energy industries is one of the most urgent subjects around highly urbanized areas such as the Tokyo and Osaka Bays in Japan. A national project has been carried out by the Japanese government for the reinforcement of the energy industries all around Japan since 2014.
