Experimental Investigation on Tsunami Impact Force on Standing Structures Generated by Various Sizes of Submarine Slides

Submarine landslide have a potential to generate tsunami wave. A different size of submarine landslide be able to generate a different type of run-up wave. The impact from this run-up wave be able to destroy coastal structure even bring fatality to human. Various sizes of submarine landslide used to model the generation of run-up wave and later the wave amplitude will be verified by using existing research. The study focus on submarine landslide parameter that will generate a different types of run-up wave. All the experimental work will be carried on the Offshore Laboratory and will be analysed using visual observation and using equation that have been derived by Watts (2005).
