Though you cannot stop the effects of a Tsunami, there are ways to reduce the impact: To avoid wave surges, the building needs to be built out of the projected water path; and this may mean building it on legs with a suspended lower floor level. All fragile shacks built on ground level were simply washed away, multi-storey buildings that were weakly built with no side-sway resistance were badly damaged.The REIDsteel buildings with columns, main beans, closely space steel joists, all bolted continuously together; and with concrete poured on steel decking in such a way that it is trapped by the steel and cannot be dislodged; provide the best building method. This technology can also be used in developing Cyclone or Hurricane prone buildings. There is no guarantee that any building could survive a tsunami; but REIDsteel Tsunami resisting buildings will give the best chance possible, it would also save many lives, and will reduce the cost of damage to infrastructure .
