The estimation method of tsunami wave force acting on a land structure using hydraulic quantities around the structure was newly proposed in this study. Hydraulic experiments were conducted to estimate tsunami wave force acting on the structure. A 2D depth-integrated flow simulation under the installation of a land structure was carried out to examine runup tsunami deformation. Even though the maximum wave force due to the initial impact of the leading edge on the structure cannot be reproduced by the proposed method, the method could reasonably estimate the tsunami wave force. Tsunami wave forces calculated by CADMAS-SURF/3D were in good agreement with the experimental results on the wave condition that cannot be reproduced by the evaluation method using the 2D simulation results.

Although inundation depth behind a low seawall became smaller than that without a seawall, velocity was increased. The existing hydrostatic formula tended to underestimate tsunami wave pressure on the condition of low seawall. For applying reduced parameter based on effect of reducing tsunami intensity by seawall, it is necessary to use inundation depth without seawall. Estimation method of tsunami wave pressure using inundation depth and horizontal velocity at the front of the structure could reproduce vertical distribution of the maximum tsunami wave pressure measured in the experiments.
