| Research Abstract |
According to the investigation in Hanshin- Awaji great earthquake disaster、 the injured person by overturning furniture occurred even in the house which was not collapsed.
I developed technique to evaluate the degree of risk quantitatively to prevent such casualty. I focused on a thighbone bone fracture and tried a degree of risk evaluation by an experiment and the simulation. About the experiment, I assumed near environment more practically and, carried out the furniture fall experiment under a variety of conditions. In addition, I carried out a questionnaire to assume the afflicted situation and assess the situation of disaster prevention awareness and the furniture conditions.
