Experimental Study of Tsunami Forces on Structures
Tsunami waves can cause large forces on coastal structures. This study carried out experiments on a horizontal flume to simulate tsunami waves with the dam-break method making impact on a vertical plexiglass wall. The forces obtained were compared with forces estimated by various available methods. It was found that the forces predicted by two methods (ASCE and Miles) are lower than those measured in the experiments, while three other methods (Honolulu building code, Coastal Engineering Technical Note, and Cross) estimated larger forces than measured in this study. Ramsden and Raichlen's method seemed to predict forces that match our experimental results closely, but at least one prediction was lower.
