Tohoku, Japan, earthquake and tsunami of 2011 / Lesley Ewing (2013)

Public ISBD Titre : Tohoku, Japan, earthquake and tsunami of 2011 : survey of coastal structures Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lesley Ewing, Editeur scientifique ; Shigeo Takahashi, Editeur scientifique ; Catherine M. Petroff, Editeur scientifique Editeur : Reston,Va. : American Society of Civil Engineers Année de publication : 2013 Importance : 1 vol. (x-106 p.) Présentation : ill. Format : 29 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7844-1269-5 Note générale : Sponsored by ASCE-COPRI-PARI coastal structures field survey team -- ASCE = American Society of Civil Engineers - COPRI = Coasts, oceans, ports and rivers institute - PPN 277728460 - Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Séismes -- Tohoku (Japon) -- 2011  Tsunamis -- Japon -- 2011  Earthquakes -- Japan -- Tohoku -- 2011  Tsunamis -- Japan -- 2011 Index. décimale : 551.220 952 Tremblements de terre - Japon et iles adjacentes Résumé : On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake rumbled off the east coast of Japan, followed by a tsunami that generated waves more than 18 meters high. The earthquake and tsunami caused devastation throughout the Tohoku and Sendai regions of Japan, killing nearly 16,000 people and causing damage estimated at more than US$126 billion. For seven days in May 2011, an ASCE/COPRI Coastal Structures Team investigated the earthquake and tsunami effects specific to engineered coastal structures, coastal landforms, and coastal processes in northeast Japan. Joined by colleagues from Japan’s Port and Airport Research Institute, the survey team observed five categories of coastal protection structures: coastal dikes, tsunami seawalls, floodwater gates, breakwaters, and vegetated greenbelts. This report provides background to the field investigation, including an event summary, the tectonic and geologic setting, and the generation, propagation, and runup of the tsunami. It then describes 11 mechanisms causing damage or failure and includes photographs illustrating the effects each mechanism. Finally, the report presents lessons learned regarding what worked and what didn’t and how this knowledge can be used to engineer against future natural disasters. For coastal engineers, structural engineers, geotechnical engineers, and disaster risk managers, the observations and analysis in this report provide critical information for engineering infrastructure that withstands major earthquake and tsunami events.

Three Great Tsunamis / Harsh K. Gupta (2013)

Under favourable geological conditions, when a large earthquake occurs below the sea bed and the resultant rupture causes a vertical displacement of the ocean bed, the entire column of water above it is displaced, causing a tsunami. In the ocean, tsunamis do not reach great heights but can travel at velocities of up to 1000 km/hour. As a tsunami reaches shallow sea depths, there is a decrease in its velocity and an increase in its height. Tsunamis are known to have reached heights of several tens of meters and inundate several kilometres inland from the shore. Tsunamis can also be caused by displacement of substantial amounts of water by landslides, volcanic eruptions, glacier calving and rarely by meteorite impacts and nuclear tests in the ocean.In this SpringerBrief, the causes of tsunamis, their intensity and magnitude scales, global distribution and a list of major tsunamis are provided. The three great tsunamis of 1755, 2004 and 2011are presented in detail. The 1755 tsunami caused by the Lisbon earthquake, now estimated to range from Mw 8.5 to 9.0, was the most damaging tsunami ever in the Atlantic ocean. It claimed an estimated 100,000 human lives and caused wide-spread damage. The 2004 Sumatra Andaman Mw 9.1 earthquake and the resultant tsunami were the deadliest ever to hit the globe, claiming over 230,000 human lives and causing wide-spread financial losses in several south and south-east Asian countries. The 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku-Oki earthquake and the resultant tsunami were a surprise to the seismologists in Japan and around the globe. The height of the tsunami far exceeded the estimated heights. It claimed about 20,000 human lives. The tsunami also caused nuclear accidents. This earthquake has given rise to a global debate on how to estimate the maximum size of an earthquake in a given region and the safety of nuclear power plants in coastal regions. This Brief also includes a description of key components of tsunami warning centres, progress in deploying tsunami watch and warning facilities globally, tsunami advisories and their communication, and the way forward" (source : Springer) Three Great Tsunamis : Lisbon (1755), Sumatra-Andaman (2004) and Japan (2011) [texte imprimé] / Harsh K.
