Abstract

According to field surveys as well as data recorded in text documents, it can be said that Vietnam has historically been hit by a tsunami. However, we still do not have enough information to accurately determine the destructive power of these tsunamis against the coastal line of Vietnam. On the other hand, in the South China Sea, there are four potential earthquakes that could lead to tsunamis affecting coastal line of Vietnam. Using models, tsunami simulations as well as computing algorithms, experts say that tsunamis will appear and attack coastal line of Vietnam when there are submarine earthquakes with magnitude of larger than 7 at the fault along Central Asia shelf with an earthquake with magnitude of greater than 8 at the Manila Trench. If an earthquake of magnitude 8 occurs in the south of Hainan, the tsunami impacting coastal line of Vietnam will be greater than 2 m. If an earthquake of magnitude 8 occurs in Manila, the tsunami from Da Nang city to Quang Ngai will reach 4 m. From there we can see that the risk of tsunami occurring and attacking the coastal cities of Vietnam is there, although the probability is not high.

Highlights

  • Tsunami is a series of waves created when a large volume of ocean water is shifted lightning on a large scale

  • As an example of the standard application we considered tsunami resistance of the port hydrotechnical structures on the Sakhalin island

  • We note that we have developed programs for the automatic retrieval in real time of earthquake data of geophysical services and sea surface oscillations from the DART buoy system, which are necessary for the rapidity of tsunami calculations after the earthquake that has just happened, which we do not do well on

Summary

Introduction

Tsunami is a series of waves created when a large volume of ocean water is shifted lightning on a large scale. In September 1498, a magnitude 8.6 earthquake struck off the coast of Nankaido, Japan, causing a tsunami wave that killed between 26.000 and 31.000 people. On October 28, 1707, over 5,000 people were killed and about 29.000 houses were destroyed during the Hoei earthquake-tsunami disaster. On June 15, 1896, over 20.000 people in Japan and about 9.000 homes were destroyed during the Sanriku earthquake-tsunami disaster. About 10 minutes after the earthquake, three consecutive tsunamis hit the coast of Italy, killing the lives of 2.000 people. In Japan, the government tested the upright structure, the pedestal platform, and lifted up from the tsunami Sensitive buildings such as nuclear power plants will be built offshore and designed to be shut down and moved to "safe locations" as soon as the earthquake is detected.
