Add to ORKGThe impact of tsunami with a vertical sea wall is examined in a series of large scale physical model tests. Of interest to the design engineer is the maximum value and time-history of the force and moments recorded at the wall for a given tsunami wave amplitude and period. This paper presents preliminary selected results from an extensive test programme. Scaled trough-led tsunami periods ranging between approximately 17 – 79 s are generated using a pneumatic long-wave generator. The waves impact a model vertical sea wall which is instrumented with an array of pressure transducers and a multi-axis load cell. The maximum and time-history of the loading is recorded. The results show breaking waves impart dynamic loads while longer non-breaking...
