A STUDY ON THE NECESSARY HORIZONTAL LOAD-CARRYING CAPACITY OF THE BUILDING IN THE REGION EXPECTED TO TSUNAMI INUNDATION

Abstract

In this paper, the height and depth of the building in the region expected to tsunami inundation are calculated by compared tsunami load to necessary horizontal load-carrying capacity in the base of the building. In addition, amount of shear walls to reinforce the building and cast-in-place concrete pile to resist tsunami load are calculated. Based on these studies, structural planning flows and examples by using three building models are shown.
