3 Generation Propagation Inundation Stages of a Tsunami How are tsunamis created? How do they move through the ocean? What happens when they hit land?

4 (USGS) Tsunami Generation by Earthquakes Illustration of Tsunami Generation by Subduction Zone

5 (NOAA) Tsunami Propagation

6 DART Buoys to detect tsunami (NOAA)

7 Tsunami Buoys Cascadia Subduction Zone

8 Tsunami Inundation For the Pacific Northwest, we need to prepare for the nearfield tsunami

9 Tsunami Buoys Cascadia Subduction Zone 30 min 1 in 7 chance in the next 50 years

10 20-30 min to evacuate the beach Tsunami Evacuation Area Tsunami Evacuation Area

11 Patong Beach, Phuket Thailand, 2004 What about VERTICAL EVACUATION?

12 Tsunami shelter in Japan JapanUSA

13 Harry Yeh Oregon State University Dynamic Tsunami Hazard Map Katada Gunma Univ. Japan

14 A Tsunami Inundation Model for Seaside

15 Idealized Seaside Fixed Bed -- Water moves, buildings don’t

17 Demonstration of Cascadia subduction zone tsunami

18 Tsunami inundation calculations with “Macro-roughness” Patrick Lynett Texas A&M University

19 “Wave Force Potential” Numerical Calculations

21 J. Van de Lindt, Colorado State Univ. R. Gupta, Oregon State University 1:6 Scale Residential Building

22 Tsunami Intensity Scale* ( = rho * u^2 * depth) High intensity Medium intensity Low intensity *This can be calculated by TSUNAMOS Proposed Research

23 We have existing information on what types of buildings are in a community Steel reinforced concrete (modern hotel) Unreinforced CMU (old hotel) Timber Frame (residential) Proposed Research

24 Use ‘limit states’ to get probabilistic estimate of expected damage Damage depends on both the ‘intensity’ of tsunami and the type of structure Legend Building survives Building damaged Totally destroyed Proposed Research

25 Outcome: Produce allows Structures to be identified for potential ‘vertical evacuation shelters’ Or … Proposed Research

26 … Identify places where new shelters will reduce the loss of life Proposed Research

27 Introduction to Engineering
