Abstract
The Manila Trench subduction zone is an active convergent plate margin between the South China Sea and northern Philippines. This strongly indicates a high probability for larger earthquakes that could potentially trigger a tsunami in the future and anticipated to affect neighboring countries such as Malaysia which has power plants near the coastal areas. The potential disastrous impact of tsunami waves on a power plant causes loss of lives, damage to assets, and loss of electricity for the coastal communities similar to year 2011 Tohoku tsunami in Japan. Therefore, application of shallow water equation (SWE) in tsunami modelling namely generation and propagation phase and nonlinear shallow water equation (NSWE) for run-up and inundation phase of a tsunami event are pertinent in simulating various scenarios of tsunami. Results from tsunami simulation is used as tsunami lateral load. Linear Static Analysis is then utilized to analyze stability of 275-kV transmission tower.
