The damage on national roads and expressways at thirteen prefectures of Tohoku and Kanto regions, and the damage on prefectural roads at five prefectures of Tohoku regions are assessed. For related 12 data, we analyzed the damage modes due to tsunami wave loads, and clarified damage ratio R N defined y the value of numer of ridge damage points N d divided y total numer of exposed ridges N t, focusing on wash-away ridges. Key Words: The 211 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku earthquake tsunami, road structure, ridge, tsunami damage INTRODUCTION In the 211 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku earthquake Mw=9.) on March 11, 211JMA 211), extensive damage of road structures located at Tohoku areas such as Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures occurred due to the tsunamis. We collect 12 damage data of road structures due to the tsunamis opened at the related we sites for analyses and classify 29 failure modes. For damage assessment of ridges, we otain the inundation heights at damaged ridges due to the tsunamis y series of tsunami flow simulation ased on shallow water theory, which are discretized y using the finite difference method with a staggered leap-flog scheme DCRC 29). Finally, we calculate damage ratio R N dependent on an inundation height, which is defined y the value of numer of ridge damage points N d divided y total numer of exposed ridges N t, focusing on wash-away ridges. 1711

R N is the ratio of the numer of damaged ridges N d divided y total numer of ridges N t, d t N RN 1) N For the following analyses in calculating the numer of damaged ridges N d at a 2.m interval of inundation heights, we use the simulated data for the corresponding inundation heights at damaged ridges from numerical simulation as descried in the following susection. And in calculating the numer of non-damaged ridges N t -N d ) at a same class of inundation heights, we use the oserved data for the corresponding inundation heights at non-damaged ridges with reliaility level A and B y the 211 Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami Joint Survey Group 211), which are measured in the closest site from suject non-damaged ridge. When we select the corresponding oserved data, if the distance from a non-damaged ridge site to the oservation site ecomes more than 25m, we consider that we do not have the reasonale corresponding oserved data for an inundation height at a non-damaged ridge and we remove the data for the analyses. Finally, we use 33 simulated data for the inundation heights at damaged ridges and 91 oserved data for inundation heights at non-damaged ridges.

CONCLUSIONS We assessed the tsunami damage on road structures due to the 211 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku earthquake tsunami. We collected 12 damage data of road structures due to the tsunamis opened at the related we sites for analyses and classified 29 failure modes. For damage assessment of ridges, we otained the inundation heights at damaged ridges due to the tsunamis y series of tsunami flow simulation ased on shallow water theory, which are discretized y using the finite difference method with a staggered leap-flog scheme DCRC 29). Finally, we calculated damage ratio R N dependent on an inundation height, which is defined y the value of numer of ridge damage points N d divided y total numer of exposed ridges N t, focusing on wash-away ridges. 1) For 19 damaged roads, failure modes are classified into 19 types, which are oserved in dominantly 5 deposits, 15 wash-aways and 1 road failures. For 33 damaged ridges, failure modes are classified into 1 types, which are oserved in dominantly 2 falling-downs, failures of autment and 2 deposits. 2) Simulated inundation heights at 33 damaged ridges are verified y comparing these related data with oserved data y the 211 Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami Survey Group 211). The magnification factors of total simulated inundation data with oserved data varied from.51 to 2.85. 3) R N with inundation heights of.m to.m show zero, R N with inundation heights of 2.m to.m increases slightly to., R N with inundation heights of 6.m to 16.m increase to the value of.18 to.33, R N with inundation heights of 16.m to 18.m increases to the large value of.5 and R N with inundation heights of 18.m to 2.m shows the largest value of.75. Highest R N is oserved at Motoyoshi Town, Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture for Koizumi Long-ridge areas and Tanohata Village, Iwate prefecture for No-name ridge areas.
