However, columns in such buildings could e 5 be susceptible to impact of tsunami water-borne massive objects. In the present study, d 1 / a 4 o 0 the impact of a tsunami water-borne shipping container on a reinforced concrete (RC) l n / 0 building is considered. The impact force-time histories are obtained from a high-fidelity w 1 o n finite element analysis, for a range of container velocities. These force-time histories D o 6. Y are us
