Type: dissertation
Abstract: ※ The abstract should be in keeping with the structure of the dissertation (objective, statement of problem, investigation, conclusion) and should convey the substance of the dissertation.Due to the excessive local scouring near the toe, many protective structures were severely destroyed at the Great East Japan Tsunami (GEJT) in 2011.For the mitigation of tsunami energy, the coastal forest is being considered as an effective natural protection and/or mitigation measure with respect to both environmental and economic aspects.After the disastrous event in GEJT, the mitigation strategy against tsunami inundation is drifting from only sea embankment to hybrid system arrangement of seaward levee and coastal vegetation.Thus, this study focused on reducing the local scouring and tsunami energy reduction by employing different types of coastal vegetation in landwards behind a coastal embankment, in five different phases, as a countermeasure against local scouring and tsunami energy reduction.
