          Abstract

          This paper discusses the need for a tsunami evacuation building (TEB) as a new risk management approach to Cascadia earthquakes and tsunamis. Taking its starting point from FEMA P646 (2008) guidelines for design of structures for evacuation from tsunamis, it looks at how this approach would work for rebuilding the Cannon Beach City Hall as a TEB. Geotechnical, structural and hydraulic designs and technical issues are considered in the project. The paper gives the outline for a future feasibility study that would include subsurface exploration, tsunami evacuation modeling, development of the conceptual design to allow for preliminary structure design, development of tsunami wave dissipation strategies, and assessment of costs. The goal of the future study is to test the feasibility of a TEB in a real situation which will allow communities to understand the technical and cost implications.

          Este artículo discute sobre la necesidad de un edificio de evacuación para tsunamis como un nuevo proyecto de manejo de riesgo contra tsunamis y terremotos de Cascadia. Basándose en el documento de FEMA P646 (2008), guía para el diseño de estructuras de evacuación para tsunamis, este artículo presenta este posible proyecto de reconstrucción del edificio de la Municipalidad de Cannon Beach como un edificio de evacuación para tsunamis. Se consideran en el proyecto aspectos técnicos y de diseño geotécnico, estructural e hidráulico. Se entrega una descripción para un estudio futuro de factibilidad que incluiría exploración del subsuelo, modelación de la evacuación ante un tsunami, desarrollo del diseño conceptual que permita un diseño estructural preliminar, desarrollo de estrategias de disipación de olas del tsunami y evaluación de costos. El objetivo de este estudio futuro es probar la factibilidad de un edificio de evacuación para tsunamis en un caso real, lo cual permita a la población entender las implicancias técnicas y económicas.
