Tsunamis are high-impact, long-lasting disasters, which in most cases allow for only a few minutes of warning before impact. The amount of energy behind huge tsunami waves can cause severe destruction when it hits land and consequently causes massive loss of human life. The impact of tsunami can be considered in social, environmental, and economic dimensions. The social impact can be seen in destruction of life and property, health crisis and disease. Tsunamis may cause massive environmentally impact by devastating effects. In this paper, the impact of 2004 and 2011 tsunamis on coasts and constructions are evaluated from the engineeering perspective. Discussions with suggestions are presented.

Tsunamis: bridging science, engineering and society Kanoğlu, Utku; Bernard, E.; Synolakis, C. (The Royal Society, 2015-10-28) Tsunamis are high-impact, long-duration disasters that in most cases allow for only minutes of warning before impact. Since the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, there have been significant advancements in warning methodology, pre-disaster preparedness and basic understanding of related phenomena. Yet, the trail of destruction of the 2011 Japan tsunami, broadcast live to a stunned world audience, underscored the difficulties of implementing advances in applied hazard mitigation. We describe state of the art methodol...
Tsunami risk assesment and positioning of a tsunami early warning system Yavuz, Cüneyt; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Aral, Mustafa M.; Department of Civil Engineering (2018) Tsunamis are rarely experienced events; they have enormous potential to cause large economic destruction on the critical infrastructures and facilities, social devastation due to mass casualty, and environmental adverse effects like erosion, accumulation and inundation. Especially for the past two decades, nations have encountered devastating tsunami events. The aim of this study is to investigate economic, social and environmental risks along the coastline for Eastern Mediterranean due to tsunamis. Additio...
Tsunamis bridging science engineering and society Kanoğlu, Utku; Bernard, Eddıe; Synolakıs, Costas (null; 2015-06-22) There have been significant advances in tsunami science since the devastating 2004 Boxing Day tsunami. Yet, the 2011 Japan tsunami dramatically demonstrated that tsunamis continue to avoidably take lives and cause significant damage. Broadcasted live to a stunned world audience, the trail of destruction in 2011 in probably most tsunami ready nation underscores the difficulties of implementing practical advances in hazard mitigation.

Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard and Risk Analysis: A Review of Research Gaps Behrens, Jörn; et. al. (2021-04-29) Tsunamis are unpredictable and infrequent but potentially large impact natural disasters. To prepare, mitigate and prevent losses from tsunamis, probabilistic hazard and risk analysis methods have been developed and have proved useful. However, large gaps and uncertainties still exist and many steps in the assessment methods lack information, theoretical foundation, or commonly accepted methods. Moreover, applied methods have very different levels of maturity, from already advanced probabilistic tsunami haz...
Numerical Modeling of Long Waves from Atypical Sources: Atmospheric Disturbances and Volcanic Origin Doğan Bingöl, Gözde Güney; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-6-30) Earthquakes are the main cause mechanisms of tsunamis and large tsunamigenic earthquakes, especially in the subduction zones, occur on relatively much shorter timescales, but destructive tsunamis are also produced by volcanic eruptions, which have been threatening the coastal communities throughout history. Furthermore, while earthquake-generated tsunamis have been studied immensely, there is less focus on research related to tsunamis induced by atmospheric disturbances (meteotsunamis). Consequently, this s...
