Abstract
The Seisho-bypass highway runs along the Seisho coast facing the Sagami Bay. On September 6, Typhoon 0709 attacked this coast with rough waves, and the road of this highway was severely damaged over 1.1km length, resulting in full traffic stoppage. During this typhoon, maximum significant wave height reached 6m with a wave period of 14s. Damages of the road were investigated through the field observation. Strong waves attacked the coastline from the Southeast, which is in contrast to the ordinary wave direction of the Southwest. Due to this oblique wave incidence, westward longshore sand transport was developed. Along this coast, the submarine canyons develop at several locations, and part of sand transported by longshore sand transport is considered to be flowed out of the submarine canyons, causing net loss of sand.
