Tsunami force estimation for beachfront traditional buildings with elevated floor slab in Malaysia

Collapse processes and associated loading of square light-frame timber structures due to bore-type waves

“…Since these authors compared a slab-on-grade and an elevated structure, the focus of this study was on the evaluation of soft-storey failures, which can occur in hurricane but also in tsunami conditions. Vertical hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads become a significant concern in the design of elevated structures (Moon et al, 2019;Alam et al, 2020;Winter et al, 2020;Krautwald et al, 2022), with additional failure mechanisms depending on their architectonical features such as girders or floor joists (Duncan et al, 2021;Krautwald et al, 2021). In contrast, the present study considers other failure mechanisms, which are associated with a rapid, impulse-type loading that is present when large tsunami waves with considerable duration strike.…”

Dam-Break Waves’ Hydrodynamics on Composite Bathymetry

“…Following Chanson (2006) and Madsen et al (2008), dambreak waves are frequently used by a multitude of authors in the context of tsunami engineering: Derschum et al (2018), Khan et al (2000), , Stolle et al (2019), Stolle et al (2020b), Stolle et al (2020a), andvon Häfen et al (2021) used dam-break waves to study debris transport and debris-induced loadings, and Nistor et al (2017a), Nistor et al (2017b), Stolle et al (2016), andWüthrich et al (2020) used the vertical release method to investigate debris motion as well. Al-Faesly et al (2012), Arnason et al (2009), Aureli et al (2015), Cross (1967), Farahmandpour et al (2020), Moon et al (2019), Ramsden (1996), Shafiei et al (2016), Soares-Frazão andZech (2007), Soares-Frazão and Zech (2008), Winter Andrew et al (2021), and Xu et al (2020 used dam-break waves to investigate loads on structures like residential houses, breakwaters or idealized cities, and the associated flow regime. Kuswandi and Triatmadja (2019), Maqtan et al (2018), andTriatmadja et al (2011) used dam-break waves to investigate scouring around structures during tsunami inundations.…”
