Abstract

Disasters of stuctures caused by severe local storms are much less in quantity than those bytyphoons in Japan, but such storms sometimes bring extreamly severe damages to structures.

This paperdescribes the results of field investigations of three severe local storms occurred in summer of 1972, and the recommendation upon the disaster prevention of structures from severe local storms is alsopresented.
