Abstract: The damage of confined-masonry-brick and concrete-block houses is assessed subjected to a tsunami wave load due to the recent three earthquakes and tsunamis at the 2001 Near Coast of Peru, the 2009 Samoa Islands, and the 2010 Maule, Chile. We analyze 13 data surveyed for affected houses, which are single-storey ones located along the coastlines, focusing on the evaluation of tsunami wave pressure distribution on a house inferred by various failure modes when subjected to an inundation depth. Based on the related formula by Asakura et al. (2000) hydraulic experimental results, we identify the required tsunami strength of a wall which is not suffered with an inundation depth
