竜巻飛来物の建屋等への年間衝突確率評価法の開発
概要
A computer code, TOMAXI, was developed to evaluate annual strike probability of a tornado-borne missile for a vertical or horizontal plate of unit area placed in an arbitrary position in our previous study, assuming that the direction of tornado translational path is stochastically random. In the present study, the authors have extended the function of TOMAXI to compute annual strike probability of a tornado-borne missile for a building or a structure of arbitrary shape placed in an arbitrary position. As an example of the application, the code has been applied to annual strike probability estimation of an automobile against a rectangular building.
