N2 - On March 11, 2011 the huge tsunami caused by the magnitude 9.0 earthquake devastated the Tohoku Pacific Ocean coastal regions of Japan. The impulsive fluid load of the tsunami caused devastating damage to the seawalls in the Tohoku region of Japan. On April 13-15, we investigated one of the disaster area, the town of Taro which had been very famous for having a 10m high seawall. This special lecture focuses on the collapse mechanism of the seawall by the impulsive fluid load due to the March 11 tsunami.
