“…All these countermeasures were developing to increase the stability of breakwater foundation against tsunami. On the other hand, to enhance stability of breakwater during earthquakes, Chaudhary et al [17][18][19] developed reinforcing countermeasures for foundation of a breakwater, and described their effectiveness against different earthquake loadings.…”

The compound disaster triggered by earthquake and tsunami imposes devastating damage to structures and human lives living near seacoasts. In past few years, breakwaters (which are used to protect coastal areas from devastating damage of tsunamis) failed during tsunami. It led to enter the tsunami waves into the coastal areas, and created deep devastation there. It was observed that the breakwaters collapsed mainly due to failure of their foundations. Recently, some research works have been done to make breakwater resilient against tsunami induced damaged in order to protect coastal areas from devastating damage of tsunami. This paper mainly reviews some recent studies towards making the breakwater resilient against earthquake and tsunami induced damage
