Abstract
The Tohuku earthquake and tsunami of March 2011 illustrated a greater vulnerability of onshore structures to tsunami loads than to those experienced during the earthquake. This is unsurprising when one considers that Earthquake Engineering is a more established field than Tsunami Engineering. It is because of this disparity that this paper aims to show how the gap can be bridged between these inter-related fields of engineering. This was accomplished by measuring initial tsunami impact loads in the laboratory and using them to estimate resultant structural displacements and determine the extent of damage by standard Earthquake Engineering practices. By doing this, it is hoped that future researchers will further explore the notion of utilizing Earthquake Engineering techniques to improve Tsunami Engineering.
