Design code-based “life-safety” requirements for structural earthquake and tsunami design offer reasonable guidelines to construct buildings that will remain standing during a tsunami or seismic event. Much less consideration has been given to assessing structural resilience during sequential earthquake and tsunami multi-hazard events. Such events present a series of extreme loading scenarios, where damage sustained during the earthquake influences structural performance during the subsequent inundation. Similar d…
