Point of View for Tsunamis at the Tokyo Port Simulation results regarding Tsunamis 想 定 地 震 マグニチュード 津 波 高 (m) 出 典 大 正 関 東 地 震 7.9 0.9~1.2 平 成 3 年 9 月 ( 東 京 都 防 災 会 議 ) 東 海 東 南 海 南 海 8.5 0.0~1.0 平 成 15 年 12 月 ( 中 央 防 災 会 議 ) 首 都 直 下 型 地 震 7.3 0.0~0.5 平 成 17 年 7 月 ( 中 央 防 災 会 議 ) 最 大 1.6 元 禄 関 東 地 震 7.3 ( 地 殻 変 動 量 含 む) 平 成 24 年 4 月 ( 東 京 都 防 災 会 議 ) According to simulation results, height of tsunami is 1.6 m at the maximum (including value of crustal movement). Expected highest tide levels when tsunami comes is: mean sea level of spring tide A.P.+2.1m + height of tsunami 1.6m = A.P.+3.7m This is lower than expected water levels at storm surge. Water levels by storm surges > Water levels by tsunamis Incoming wave component A.P.4.1-5.1 m Seawall maintenance by the Plan for Storm Surges has enough height for tsunamis Maximum AP+8.0 m Element of the wave Height of storm surge Maximum AP+3.7 m Part of increased water level by storm surge At the bottom of the ground Tidal datum Storm surge deviation Height of tsunami Mean sea level of spring tide Tsunami and Coastal Shape Wave height of tsunami in closed-off section of bay generally tends to become higher in the order below when the shape of bay is grouped into four general categories of bag-shaped, straight line-shaped, horseshoeshaped, and V-shaped. Low Tendency of wave height of tsunami High Bag-shaped bay Straight line-shaped bay Horseshoe -shaped bay V-shaped bay Width of strength of tsunami w hich coming in from mouth of bay becomes narrow er in the entrance of the bay. Since the closed-off section of the bay is w ide, the strength of tsunami w ill disperse after it comes into the bay. Also, sea bottom friction w ill increase as depth of the sea becomes shallow, which w ill decrease the strength. Thus w ave height w ill not be higher in closed-off section of bay. As for seacoast with less asperity, it is very similar to the case of horseshoe-shaped bay when sea bottom is relatively steep. How ever, when it is gradual, the strength w ill decay by the sea bottom friction and the w ave height w ill not be higher because the effects which increase wave height w ill be negated as it becomes shallow. Development of tsunami coming in to the bay is smaller compared to v-shaped bay. How ever, wave height w ill become higher and amplify w hen it comes closer to the closed-off section of bay. When a distant tsunami occurs, it w ill be larger than v-shaped bay in the closed-off section of bay. The strength of tsunami comes from the ocean w ill be focused on both sides. Since it is squeezed into a narrow area suddenly, energy of tsunami w ill overlap and focused on a narrow range. Wave height amplifies and suddenly increases when it comes close to the closed-off section of bay. From the N ational Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Preventi on website Figures are extracted from (descripti on was partially changed for extract) the Tsunami Engineering Laborator y of Graduate School of Engineering, T ohoku U niversity website and the Research Study Report r egarding Measures against Tsunamis and Liquefaction (the si x prefectures research meeting for earthquake measures in May, 1984).
Recommendations on how flood control measure associated with earthquakes and tsunamis should be taken (summary) A Technology Verification Committee for Flood Control Measure Associated with Earthquakes and Tsunamis (chairman: Chuo University professor Tadashi Yamada) which includes academic experts made recommendations, from a point of view of results of emergency surveys, on measures that Tokyo should take from here on. Recommendations were summarized in August, 2012. Recommendations For tsunami According to the estimated result of the Disaster Prevention Council of Tokyo, water levels of tsunami will be lower than height of seawalls by storm surge plan, so safety will be secured by originally planned height. Earthquake resistance measure For coastal area and lowlands where the ground is low and have a possibility of flood damage, measures for largest possible earthquake ground motions such as magnitude 8.2 subduction zone earthquake should be taken for the future. Water resistance measure Measures should be implemented in order to maintain functions of electricity and mechanical equipment of floodgates, pump stations, pump locations, and water reclamation centers when flood occurs due to damage of seawalls and floodgates. Floodgate operation Introduction of remote control system should be considered in order to make sure the prompt closing of floodgates, land locks, and tide gates for storm surge that require operation at actual places. Enhancement of functions, such as maintenance of backup facilities and multiplexing of communications network, should be conducted for facilities that the remote control systems has already been introduced. For promotion of measures from here on Measures should be promoted based on the new results of considerations by the Central Disaster Prevention Council regarding earthquakes and tsunamis. Basic Policy of Tokyo 1 Goal Implement measures to maintain functions of each facility and prevent flood by tsunamis when magnitude 8.2 subduction zone earthquakes occur. Point of View Changing height of seawalls is not necessary as the height of seawalls of the current plan has enough height for estimated tsunami height. Enhancement for earthquake resistance should be conducted for magnitude 8.2 subduction zone earthquakes estimated by the Disaster Prevention Council of Tokyo. Prevent flood for electricity and mechanical equipment for each facility. Promote maintenance by considering priority. A large scale of lower ground area such as area below sea level Low ground behind seawalls Degree of obsolescence of facilities
Basic Policy of Tokyo 2 Earthquake resistance measure For seawalls and embankments, maintain functions w hich prevent flood by conducting reinforcement for damage and subsidence. For floodgates, maintain function of opening and closing of the gate by conducting reinforcement of gateposts and enhancement of fixing of equipment. For pump locations, maintain w ater pumping function by conducting earthquake resistance for building frame. Water resistance measure Locate power receiving and transforming equipment and emergency pow er system for floodgates and pumps higher than storm surge height. For equipment combined w ith facilities such as pumps, maintain their functions by water-tightness of the opening. Take measures for estimated height of tsunami at w ater reclamation centers and others. Floodgate operation Establish tw o hubs of the High Tide Management Center w hich controls floodgates in order to operate by either one of two hubs if one of each become malfunction, and conduct multiplexing of communications netw ork as well. Allow administrators of each facility to immediately share information through using communications netw ork such as optical fiber or w ireless network that set in highly earthquake resistance sew erage pipe.
