Due to the devastating effect of past tsunami in 2004, the entire research community has grasped the attention of the need of tsunami resistant buildings in order to mitigate the future generated tsunamis. Since there is no IS codes/guidelines for Indian conditions, many researchers have used the FEMA considerations as a reference guidelines in to their research. Here, an attempt is made to investigate the design aspects of stilt basement frame type of dwelling units under different tsunami conditions. For this study, the different design still water depths such as 2, 3.5, and 5 m were taken on this dwelling units. The tsunami loads such as hydrostatic, breaking wave and debris impact loads were calculated based on FEMA guidelines and the same is incorporated into the design of various structural components. Comparisons were made on the different tsunami conditions. Depending on the magnitude of the tsunami loads, suitable structural designs of the building components were arrived in ensuring adequate safety considerations. |
