【 摘 要 】

Tsunami is a succession of waves travelling throughout water body which is resulted by the sudden displacement of a substantial volume of water on the ocean. This disastrous event typically generated due to seismic activity occurs on the seabed or any kind of disturbance that happen either naturally or man-made, below or above the ocean. The hydrostatic pressure produced during this catastrophic event might cause significant damage to many common structures should that they are not being built to resist such imposed load by the tsunami. Tsunami field survey observations also indicate that the structural failure would be escalated more in the presence of water borne debris such as wooden logs, vehicles, containers or other heavy objects. Through this paper, the outcomes of the experimental study are obtainable for the quantification of the hydrodynamic pressure force on the structures. The structure used for the experiment is a scaled down 1:10 model by utilizing the flat slab structural system, a typical structural system that being used in most building worldwide other than the slab beam structural system, thus resembling the exact behaviour of failure to the real structure when it imposed with the tsunami pressure.
