Development of a Port Facility Diagnostic System that Utilizes Data Measured by Strong Motion Seismographs

Abstract The Authors developed a damage assessment system for mooring facilities. This uses information on seismic motion observed by strong seismographs when an earthquake occurs in order to determine whether or not facilities can be used based the degree of suffered. creates maps estimating results. Two methods are available determining usability—immediate diagnoses and detailed diagnoses—and all calculations performed automatically, from acquisition determination usability. resulting select surveyed on-site assessments, making this effective tool supporting initial response systems after disaster strikes.
