CDIT carries out various dissemination and education activities in order to promote extensive use and popularization of advanced technologies
―Dissemination of Information and Education Service
Preparation and publication of technical guidelines and manuals
CDIT prepares and publishes various kinds of guidelines and manuals for designing, construction, maintenance, disaster prevention etc. based on the output of its research in order to promote effective utilization and wide spread of advanced technological information (48 manuals and guidelines issued by 2010.)■Guidelines and Manuals published and distributed by CDIT
■Examples of projects implemented based on our technical manual
Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport) where compaction grouting method was applied for liquefaction countermeasure.
Development of Software
CDIT develops computer software for various numerical simulation models in cooperation with institutes such as Port and Airport Research Institute, sells them and holds work shops as well.

Technical Terms
●CADMAS-SURF
CADMAS-SURF (Super Roller Flume for Computer Aided Design of Maritime Structure) is a numerical simulation program used to estimate wave force and wave topping for coastal structures instead of i mplementing m odel tests w hich require large experimental facilities.
●FLIP
FLIP (Finite Element Analysis Program for Liquefaction Process) is a numerical simulation program for dynamic effective stress analysis to estimate the residual deformation of ground and structure by earthquake shaking as well as the stress in structure members.
●GeoFem
This is a numerical simulation program to analyze deformation of ground supporting breakwaters and other upper structures.
●The North-East Asia Port Symposium
The North-East Asia Port Symposium is held every year t aking turns by Japan, Korea and China in order to exchange updated information and experience of ports and harbors, and there -by strengthen friendly ties.
●IAPH
IAPH (The International Association of Ports and Harbors) is an international NGO established in 1955 where people engaged in ports gather from all over the world. It aims t o promote development of ports and communication among port related peop le in the world. Its headquarters is in Tokyo.
●KORDI
Korea Ocean Research and Development
Institute established in 1973 plays a central role in oceanographic research in Korea.The present name is KIOST (Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology)

Worldwide dissemination of knowledge on disaster mitigation measures against tsunami
CDIT edited a book titled “TSUNAMI---To survive from tsunami” and published its Japanese version from Maruzen Publishing Co. in November 2008 to help people survive a tsunami. Then, CDIT successively published a book “TSUNAMI” in English and Indonesian languages, respectively from World Scientific Publishing Co. and PT. Sarana Komunikasi Utama. In addition, CDIT held worksh ops in Indonesia and other disaster stricken countries by Indian Ocean Tsunami to disseminate knowledge on tsunami and necessary precautionary measures to mitigate disasters based on the book “TSUNAMI”. This project was financially assisted by a Nippon Foundation. In connection with English and Indonesian publications, CDIT is commended and awarded "the Book of the Year 2009" by Japan Society of Civil Engineers.
Thereafter, CDIT edited a book titled "Tsunami is Deadly." which is a much easier version for children to understand major points written in the book "TSUNAMI", and published it in various languages such as Japanese, Indonesian and Spanish.
