The most pertinent tsunami related issues such as water borne debris during tsunami flooding, design loads to incorporate for impact forces on coastal zone infrastructure, detection and warning are meticulously incorporated in this book.Modelling of various coastal processes have proven to be successful in the recent past, which includes extreme events such as storm surge, cyclone, etc. The possible provisions for computational/numerical tsunami modelling and real physical modelling in laboratory are elaborated. The propagation, evolution and run-up of tsunami waves and their associated non-linear dynamics are discussed.The significant inferences from the experts who have had hands-on experience working with the extensive magnitude of a tsunami disaster reported on the signature studies and post-facto effects of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, with respect to the damages along the Indian coast.
This report provides a source of state-of-the-art information on tsunami engineering. The report summarizes available information, identifies gaps in existing knowledge, and discusses methods of predicting tsunami flooding. The generating mechanisms of tsunamis and the method of determining the probability of occurrence are given. Because of the limited data available on tsunamis, numerical methods are commonly used to predict tsunami flooding of coastal areas. Finite-difference equations are presented for simulating the propagation of tsunamis, but computer programs are omitted because of the continuing work in progress and the availability of up-to-date computer programs from other sources. Known mathematical solutions, for tsunamis approaching the shoreline and tsunami-shoreline interaction, are given to illustrate the effects of tsunamis and provide means of verifying numerical results. The report discusses tsunami-structure interaction and illustrates various types of damage caused by tsunamis. (Author).
Earthquake-tsunamis, including the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and the 2011 Tōhoku Tsunami in Japan, serve as tragic reminders that such waves pose a major natural hazard. Landslide-tsunamis, including the 1958 Lituya Bay case, may exceed 150 m in height, and similar waves generated in lakes and reservoirs may overtop dams and cause significant devastation. This book includes nine peer-review articles from some of the leading experts in the field of tsunami research. The collection represents a wide range of topics covering (i) wave generation, (ii) wave propagation, and (iii) their effects. Within (i), a tsunami source combining an underwater fault rupture and a landslide are addressed in the laboratory. Within (ii), frequency dispersion with the nonlinear shallow-water equations is considered and a detailed account of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, tsunami, and fire in downtown Lisbon is presented. Two articles involve all three phases (i) to (iii), including runup and dam over-topping. Within (iii), a new semi-empirical equation for runup is introduced and the interaction of tsunamis with bridges and pipelines is investigated in large laboratory experiments. This state-of-the-art collection of articles is expected to improve modelling and mitigate the destructive effects of tsunamis and inspire many future research activities in this challenging and exciting research field.

Huge earthquakes and tsunamis have caused serious damage to important structures such as civil infrastructure elements, buildings and power plants around the globe. To quantitatively evaluate such damage processes and to design effective prevention and mitigation measures, the latest high-performance computational mechanics technologies, which include telascale to petascale computers, can offer powerful tools. The phenomena covered in this book include seismic wave propagation in the crust and soil, seismic response of infrastructure elements such as tunnels considering soil-structure interactions, seismic response of high-rise buildings, seismic response of nuclear power plants, tsunami run-up over coastal towns and tsunami inundation considering fluid-structure interactions. The book provides all necessary information for addressing these phenomena, ranging from the fundamentals of high-performance computing for finite element methods, key algorithms of accurate dynamic structural analysis, fluid flows with free surfaces, and fluid-structure interactions, to practical applications with detailed simulation results. The book will offer essential insights for researchers and engineers working in the field of computational seismic/tsunami engineering.
Author Ian Robertson provides a comprehensive, authoritative guide to the new tsunami design provisions of Standard ASCE/SEI 7-16 using a series of detailed examples based on prototypical buildings.
"This book will be of interest to seismologists, oceanographers, volcanologists, coastal engineers, members of the IUGG Tsunami Commission, and staff of operational tsunami warning centers."--BOOK JACKET.

This solutions manual is a companion to the workbook, Practical Numerical Mathematics with MATLAB: A workbook. It is intended for use by individual students independently studying the workbook and provides complete MATLAB code and numerical results for each of the exercises in the workbook and will be especially useful for those students without previous MATLAB programming experience. It is also valuable for classroom instructors to help pinpoint the author's intent in each exercise and to provide a model for graders.
