Most buildings and structures affected by the Boxing Day tsunami in 2004 were severely damaged or completely destroyed due to the immense force of the waves, which reached heights of up to 30 meters (100 feet) in some areas. Coastal communities in countries like Indonesia, Thailand, and Sri Lanka faced catastrophic losses, with entire towns being flattened. Recovery efforts have since led to the rebuilding of many structures, often with improved designs and better preparedness for future natural disasters. However, the rebuilding process has been slow and challenging, compounded by the scale of destruction and the need for sustainable development.
Towns were affected the most with almost no parts of any structure left standing and buildings collapsed. Tsunami also caused severe structural damage including heavy damage to roads and railways.
A tsunami can cause structural damage to buildings, including collapsing walls, roofs, and foundations. The force of the water can also lead to flooding and erosion, weakening the structural integrity of the buildings. Additionally, debris carried by the tsunami can cause further damage to structures, such as houses and shopping malls.
When building structures in a tsunami-prone area, it is important to elevate buildings above potential flood levels, use flood-resistant materials, and ensure strong anchoring of the structure to the foundation. It is also advisable to have tsunami evacuation routes and safe gathering points in place, as well as educate the community about tsunami safety and preparedness measures.
The earthquake in Japan caused more damage overall than the tsunami. The powerful earthquake triggered the tsunami and also led to widespread destruction of buildings, infrastructure, and loss of lives. The tsunami primarily affected coastal areas with devastating flooding and destruction.
A tsunami is a geologic event that is not affected by weather. The humidity could be anything.
It damaged their houses, buildings, and everything.
