Book excerpt: Past tsunami events were reviewed with the objective of evaluating observed structural response. Selected structures are described and used to evaluate the performance of different structural systems and materials during a tsunami event. In general, only engineered structural steel and reinforced concrete structures, and structures raised above the tsunami flow, were able to survive the tsunami forces without collapse or substantial structural damage.
