Recent natural disasters, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Tohoku Tsunami,
exhibited the importance of tsunami-resistant infrastructure in high-risk coastal areas. The …

Field surveys in recent tsunami events document the catastrophic effects of large waterborne
debris on coastal infrastructure. Despite the availability of experimental studies, numerical …

Abstract The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the recent 2011 Japan tsunami have
highlighted the need to investigate the interaction between tsunamis and coastal structures …

Large-scale experiments on the pressure exerted on a tide wall due to the impact, reflection,
and overflow of tsunami inundation flow were carried out to investigate the characteristics of …

This paper presents the results of a comprehensive experimental program focused on the
impact of extreme hydrodynamic forces on structural models generated by a turbulent …

A field survey team went to Palu City, Indonesia in the aftermath of the September 28th,
2018 earthquake and tsunami to investigate its effects on local infrastructure and buildings …

This paper focuses on the hydrodynamic interaction between dam-break waves and circular
pier. Firstly, a series of dam-break waves under dry-bed and wet-bed conditions were …

Experimental research was conducted focusing on debris motion over a horizontal apron
featuring vertical obstacles in the path of the debris propagation. The apron was designed …

Tsunami are very long gravity waves that may cause significant damage to coastal sea
walls. The majority of relevant design codes and research papers that describe methods for …

This paper presents a methodology to develop hurricane induced coastal flood vulnerability
functions for residential construction based on empirical tsunami fragility functions. A force …
