Response of sand dune when overwashed by tsunami or storm surge, is investigated by conducting small scale laboratory study. Dune consisting of initially wet sand and initially dry sand are tested for three different sand grain sizes. Overtopping of water and the corresponding sediment transport are analyzed. These data set can be used to validate mathematical models associated with dune sediment transport as well as prediction of dune profile.

At demolition sites in Japan, columns and walls are pulled down and demolished by heavy machinery or wire ropes. In a small-scale building in urban areas, columns and walls are pulled down by wire ropes. Before pulling down, workers damage the bottom part of the columns and walls for weakening them. However, if the damage of the columns and walls are too much, they fall down before use of wire ropes. As a result, they may crush workers. In this study, a fall prevention material was proposed with its installation method and verified its effectiveness by experiments. In an experiment of this study, steel pipes for supporting 3m-column were examined. The steel pipes were installed diagonally to the column. The column was loaded horizontally. We measured load and deformation until the steel pipe failed. As a result of experiments, it was found that the steel pipe buckled or the bolt supporting the steel pipe damaged. We concluded that this method is effective because the steel pipes were found to be sufficiently strong against the load generated in the steel pipes when the columns fell.

Considerable resources have been invested in examining the game design principles that best foster learning. One way to understand what constitutes a well-designed instructional game is to examine the relationship between gaming characteristics and actual learning. This report discusses the lessons learned from the design and development process of instructional simulations that are enhanced by competition and storyline gaming characteristics and developed as instructional interventions for a study on the effects of gaming characteristics on learning effectiveness and engagement. The goal of the instructional simulations was to engage college students in learning the statistics concepts of standard deviation and the empirical rule. A pilot study followed by a small-scale experimental study were conducted to improve the value and effectiveness of these designed simulations. Based on these findings, specific practical implications are offered for designing actual learning environments that are enhanced by competition and storyline gaming elements.
