Abstract
This paper investigates the fundamental principle of whether ductility and dynamic effects are significant in determining structural performance under tsunami loading. It is first shown analytically that an Elastic-PerfectlyPlastic (EPP) Single Degree of Freedom (SDoF) can maintain a load (F) greater than its yield load (Fy) for a duration of time. For an idealised triangular load, the overstrength factor ( ) scales with the displacement ductility demand according to dimensionless parameters of (a) ratio of Fy to the peak applied load, and (b) the ratio of natural period to the duration for which the load exceeds yield. Finally, it is shown that for realistic tsunami load time-histories that the structure will collapse if the applied loads exceed Fy for any significant time. The implications for tsunami-resistant design are that structures must be designed to withstand the full tsunami load elastically and therefore that static procedures could be sufficient for their assessment. The implication for catastrophe modelling is that analytical fragility and vulnerability functions may also be derived using static procedures.
