Recent natural extreme events, such as Hurricane Ike in the US (2008), Tohoku tsunami in
Japan (2011), and Typhoon Haiyan in Southeast Asia (2013), have caused significant …

Massive coastal bridges were damaged in Hurricanes Ivan (2004) and Katrina (2005), and
considerable efforts have been devoted to the studies of wave forces acting on bridge decks …

A large-scale physical model was created in Oregon State University's Large Wave Flume to
collect an extensive dataset measuring wave-induced horizontal and vertical forces on an …

Hurricane-induced wave forces on a box girder deck for a coastal bridge are investigated by
experimental tests and numerical simulations. A series of 70 experiments, which include six …

Abstract Effect of various forms of currents on regular nonlinear waves in shallow water is
investigated by use of a computational fluid dynamics approach. A range of wave conditions …

Extreme waves generated by hurricanes, together with storm surges, have led to severe
damage and even failures in many offshore structures. This paper presents a novel …

Wave loading on a coastal bridge deck due to nonlinear waves during a storm, where air
may be fully or partially trapped between the girders, is studied through an extensive set of …

Coastal bridges are vulnerable to extreme surges and waves during tsunamis and
hurricanes. Many of them have been significantly damaged or destroyed during past …

In harsh ocean environment, there are complex interactions between extreme surge waves
and strong wind during hurricanes. Coastal infrastructures, such as coastal bridges …

Interaction of linear and nonlinear, long-crested waves with currents in deep and finite water
depths is studied by use of the computational fluid dynamics approach. Various wave …
