Abstract

The objective of this study is to develop a tsunami evacuation simulation system that takes into account building collapse and fire spread. Road blockage is determined by calculating the road blockage probability due to building collapse, taking into account the size of the assumed earthquake, location of buildings, and type of building. For fire spread simulation, an existing simulator based on the fire spread rate equation is used. Under average wind direction and speed conditions for the target area, arbitrary fire points are set up and fire spread is represented using fire times for each building obtained from the simulation. The applicability of this system as a scenario is extended. The present system is applied to several examples to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the system.
