Abstract: Floodborne debris impact loads depend on several factors, including debris orientation and velocity. Due to the random nature of turbulent flood flows, debris motions are inherently random. This study presents a probabilistic ...

Abstract: A probabilistic hydrodynamic model for the wet and dry zone on a permeable structure is developed to predict irregular wave action on the structure above the still water level. The model is based on the time-averaged ...

Abstract: The effects of external currents on the longshore current and sediment transport in the surf zone are examined using the cross-shore numerical model CSHORE, which is extended to include the alongshore pressure gradient ...

Abstract: A series of laboratory experiments and high-fidelity numerical modeling were conducted to study the effects of the lowest floor elevation on the flow and loading patterns resulting from the overland propagation of a solitary ...

Abstract: Exploratory experiments including a series of flume and geotechnical tests were conducted to assess the effects of fines content and relative density on the erosion and recession of predominantly sandy beach and bluff. The ...
