Japanese research group simulates tsunami

YOKOSUKA, Japan - A 2.5 meter tsunami is generated in a man-made channel at the Port and Airport Research Institute in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, on June 29. The institute developed the 5-meter-deep concrete water tank measuring 184 meters long and 3.5 meters wide to help unravel the destructive mechanism of tsunamis.

        SAPPORO, Japan - Engineers from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Port and Airport Research Institute created a state of liquefaction (photo) by simulating an earthquake at an experimental airfield in Otaru, Hokkaido, on Oct. 27. The earthquake was simulated by sequential blasts over two minutes of 1.8 tons of explosives buried in 580 locations, according to engineers who took part in the project. The experiment showed that there were no signs of liquefaction in areas injected with water-solidifying chemicals, they said. (Kyodo)
