VULNERABILITY
• Coastal areas are vulnerable to
damage due to
•Marine environment
VULNERABILITY
• Episodic events: Sea level changes due to seasonal peaks, hurricanes, storms and tsunamis
www/rg4rb.org
VULNERABILITY
• Chronic Conditions:
– Sea level rise due to Climate warming, land ice melting, ice sheet displacement to the sea
REHABILITATION OF STRUCTURES AFFECTED BY MARINE ENVIRONMENT
• PILE ENCAPSULATION, CONCRETE OR STEEL STRENGHTENING, ELEMENT REPLACEMENT

CONSTRUCTION LEVEL OF DAMAGE
A B C D
NEW 0.95 0.75 0.55 0.35
OLD 0.85 0.65 0.40 0.20
LEVEL OF DAMAGE
• LEVEL A: 1% of loss of rebar section, longitudinal cracks
• LEVEL B: 5% of loss of rebar section with spalling of concrete , exposed reinforcement and loss of bonding.
• LEVEL C: 25% of loss or rebar section, loss of confinement and bond
• LEVEL D: Break of stirrups, buckling of longitudinal reinforcement

STRESS GENERATED

Columns

Challenges in the repair of columns
• After surface deterioration, compressive loads within the column are redistributed around the affected area, increasing the stress level in the remaining section
• A surface repair will not carry its share of stress unless the compressive loads are removed during the repair.
• Another factor is drying shrinkage

REHABILITATION OF STRUCTURES AFFECTED BY SEA LEVEL CHANGES
GLOBAL WARMING
MAY REQUIRE MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS
RETREAT
• Will require move the structure

ADAPT• It will require jacketing
PROTECT
• USE OF
-BREAKWATERS-SHEET PILES-GROINS-SAND AND WATER SLURRY

TSUNAMIS
• FEMA CCM CONCLUSIONS :
-Tsunami loads are too great and not feasible or practical to design normal structures to withstand these loads. - The USA building codes do not adequately address the flow velocity and subsequent structural loading during a tsunami.
BUILDING EVALUATION

3/9/2017
• Studies– Tsunami forces often exceed the design
forces based on wind and seismic conditions
– However, a review of typical prototype moment resistant frames indicated that the capacity of individual members is often adequate for the tsunami loads
– Shear wall structures are good for earthquakes but are severely affected by tsunamis
Design Considerations
• Hydraulic Lateral Forces
-full structure
-individual elements
• Impact Force
- floating debris
• Buoyancy Force
• Scour

(Cont)
• Hydraulic Lateral Forces
- Hydrostatic
- Surge Force
- Breaking Wave Force
- Hydrodynamic
• Impact Force
3/9/2017 26
Loading Combinations
• If walls not designed to break away:1. Hydrostatic force on building elevations + hydrodynamic force on
sides of structure + impact force.
2. Breaking wave force on building elevation + hydrodynamic force on sides of structure + impact force.
3. Surge force on building elevation + hydrodynamic force on sides of structure + impact force.
• Codes call for break-away walls:Infill wall capacity: min. 10 psf and max. 20psf

BRIDGES AND PIERS
• AREAS OF CONCERN
They are supported by neoprene pads and restrainers are used to control lateral displacement only in Earthquakes, but restrainers may not be enough for tsunamis
3/9/2017 28
• BRIDGE AND PIERS
Walways and roadways are more vulnerable
Dolphins and platforms are very strong
3/9/2017 29
Bridge and piers• The initial stage of tsunami loading leads to a
combination of horizontal and uplift forces. These forces gradually increase as the tsunami free-surface elevation rises.
• The maximum uplift force during the initial impact time period is found to occur when the tsunami free-surface elevation reaches the top of the bridge or pier barrier before overtopping. After this, the uplift acting on a partially inundated pier or bridge is counterbalanced by the weight of water ponding on the deck and slamming force caused by tsunami hitting the upper surface of the deck.

PIERS IMPROVEMENTS
• INSTALLATION OF MONOPILES WITH FENDERS PREVENT COLLISION FORCES DUE TO DRIFTING VESSELS
• USE OF CATHODIC PROTECTION ON MONOPILES AND SUPERSTRUCTURE
• BREAKWATERS CAN REDUCE UP TO 60% THE TSUNAMI HEIGHT

TANKS• FUNDATIONS
Some tank foundation rest on compacted soil, other foundations include ring foundations or mat foundations
They may or may not include anchor bolts for inundations to avoid lifting or due to earthquake loads
Vertical tsunami forces are estimated in cases where the tsunami water entered through a gap between the tank bottom plate and foundation
3/9/2017 32
• AREAS OF CONCERN
• It will be necessary to verify the shell and foundation capacity

Stress on tanks

TANKS
• Water tanks and other types of tanks usually have anchor bolts
• Oil storage tanks without bolts or weak anchors are easily damaged due to horizontal and vertical movement
• If a tsunami flows over the dike and reaches the tank, the buckling of the outer steel wall by tsunami force could occur before other damages
