The modelling of wave-structure interaction (WSI) has significant applications in
understanding natural processes as well as securing the safety and efficiency of marine …

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 …

In this paper, solitary wave-induced vertical and horizontal forces on coastal bridges are
investigated by laboratory experiments as well as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) …

Due to the strong interaction between the bridges and the extreme waves generated by
hurricanes and tsunamis, many coastal bridges were damaged in the past few decades. In …

Wave loads on crest walls on top of rubble mound structures determine the size of these
crest walls. For the design of crest walls some design guidelines exist, but their validity is …

Laboratory models are important for research, to inform design solutions and to calibrate
and validate numerical models. Unfortunately, model-prototype similarity is often difficult to …

Simple Summary Artificial reefs improve the yield of artisanal fishing grounds by creating
habitats with enhanced productivity, similar to those of natural reefs. For an adequate …

Coastal bridges are susceptible to severe damage due to wave-induced forces during
extreme events such as coastal flooding, hurricanes, storm surges and tsunamis. As a direct …

In this study, a numerical method for predicting solitary wave forces on a typical coastal
bridge deck with girders is utilised in order to obtain an alternative way to assess solitary …

Tsunamis can cause destructive damage to coastal bridges resulting in huge economic
losses and human casualties. Different types of countermeasures can reduce the horizontal …
