| Notes | The American Society for Civil Engineering has issued a new standard on "Tsunami Loads and Effects" as part of the 2016 edition of the ASCE Standard, Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures. This is a technical article examining the pressures and hydrodynamic lateral forces of tsunami and discusses options for planners such as strengthening buldings or changing zoning. "It is important that communities in tsunami hazard areas evaluate their risk associated with existing development and start to consider disaster resilience in community planning of future development" (p.04018116-11). |
