Abstract
 This paper presents the development of a new numerical analysis method for failure of RC structures subjected to tsunami impact. The major developments are the implementation of failure analysis to a large scale solid finite element method and the coupling of tsunami analysis to the structure analysis. The failure analysis employs the particle discretization scheme to model most complicated crack configuration in concrete, and the tsunami analysis is based on the stabilized finite element method of solving the Navier-Stokes equation with free surface. OpenMP and MPI hybrid parallelization is implemented. An experiment of tsunami impact on an RC plate is reproduced, in order to examine the ability of the developed method.
