Innovative Tsunami Wave Loading Analysis Using High-Speed Video Camera

The Engineering Department's Geotechnical and Environmental Research Group conducted a study using a high-speed (1000 frames/s) video camera to capture a tsunami wave hitting and propagating past a model house. Miniature pressure sensors were attached to the building walls to measure the pressure exerted by the wave. The research revealed that the wave loading can destroy a typical house, prompting the development of a new design that can withstand such forces.

  2. A high speed (1000 frames/s) video camera was used to capture the tsunami wave as it hits and propagates pass the model house. Miniature pressure sensors fixed to the walls of the building facing the wave front provides pressure exerted by the tsunami wave on the building walls. Wave loading destroys the typical house New design withstands the wave loading
