Against the huge tsunami with the subduction-zone earthquake, structures such as breakwater and seawall are constructed. The expected effects of these structures are to reduce the inundation depth and inundation area. In other words, if we estimate tsunami inundation using numerical simulation accurately, it is necessary to reflect the situation of these structures in the numerical models. However in the present technology, it is difficult to predict while to estimate and reflect the destruction process by earthquake and tsunami attack. In this study, we assume that the damage level of structures are uncertain phenomenon and we develop that evaluated the tsunami inundation stochastically using Monte Carlo method.
