Estimation of design load for tsunami resistant structures is important. Though standard codes such as FEMA exist and are widely used, this study recommends that it is preferable to conduct model studies as per the need to estimate the expected force. The distribution of force can significantly change based on the type and shape of the structure as well any other internal or external arrangements made for its protection. In this study, the specific case of a building without stilt column and provided with barriers as external protection measures is considered. It is demonstrated that Genetic Programming (GP) is a potential modelling technique to model the data/information obtained from force sensors fitted at different levels. For each type of dwelling units, similar independent model studies are recommended to be carried out.
