Abstract

Our knowledge of the destructive nature and force of tsunamis is limited and is only still being developed. Even standards of earthquake-resistant design are being constantly revised to incorporate new developments in the field. Tsunami loads are far too great and it is costly and impractical to design normal structures that are resistant to all tsunamis. There is no point in making new houses extra safe, when they cannot resist all tsunamis.
