Pilot Implementation of Tsunami Design Standard in Russian Far East


Abstract eng:
Pilot implementation of a draft of tsunami design code is under consideration. This code is intended to ensure the sustainable safety of coastal urban area and should be tested in practice to meet the conditions of permissible risk. The lessons learned from Tohoku tsunami disaster allowed to improve the previous standard. Terms and definitions, tsunami hazard maps and other source data, design conditions and safety criteria in relation to both of coastal and onshore facilities and also to coastal urbanization as a whole were improved. Implementation into practice is shown on the examples of the 23 berthing facilities in the ports of Korsakov and in the port of Kholmsk on Sakhalin Island, Russian Far East. Additional theoretical research, simulations and natural experiments on interaction of long tsunami waves with structures of various sizes, shapes and permeability and streamlining are required to better understand how to assign the tsunami loads. The engineering community is invited to join efforts in order to create a global directory of the protecting methods and technologies against tsunami impact. Directory has to be supplemented by examples of applications into practice.
