Abstract
Housing Bureau Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has proposed building behind obstacle is two times the hydrostatic pressure of the wave height. In this regard, the present study examined the tsunami load acting on the building behind a obstacle from numerical experiments by MPS method. MPS method is a type of particle method. From the re-sults obtained, we have examined the proposal of the Housing Bureau Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
As a result, even in the case of bank overtopping, a=2.0 is effective even behind a seawall. In addition, in the case of the pitch of building is 15m or less, tsunami load is significantly reduced by building on the front.
