In February 2011 the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) formed a new Tsunami Loads and Effects subcommittee, which spent four years and numerous meetings to develop a new chapter for inclusion in the ASCE7-16 Standard, Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures. This new chapter has now been approved by the ASCE7 Main Committee and ASCE7-16 has been published with a new Chapter 6, Tsunami Loads and Effects. Once adopted by the International Code Council, ASCE7-16, with the new chapter on Tsunami Loads and Effects, will become part of the US model code. The tsunami design provisions will apply to all coastal communities in California, Oregon, Washington State, Alaska and Hawaii. This paper presents an overview of the new ASCE7-16 Tsunami Loads and Effects design provisions and demonstrates their application to prototypical reinforced concrete and structural steel buildings in coastal communities in Hawaii and West Coast USA.
