Abstract: This study proposes an alternative and competitive methodology for predicting solitary wave forces on coastal bridge decks using artificial neural networks (ANNs). It is imperative to accurately predict the on-deck wave ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations of stormsurge–wave actions on coastal highways and levees are very important research topics for coastal engineering. In a largescale region hydrodynamic model, highways and levees are often complicated ...

Abstract: Failures of coastal low-lying bridges in the United States along the Gulf Coast have attracted substantial research interest. Many of the failures were associated with twin-deck bridges. This study presents a series of ...

Abstract: The connection, or interface, between the bridge superstructure and substructure is a key component in a bridge system for resisting hurricane-induced storm surges and wave forces. The performance of the connection can ...

Abstract: AbstractA large-eddy simulation (LES) model is configured to investigate the effect of the horizontal (northward) component of Earth?s rotation on upper-ocean turbulence. The focus is on the variability of the effect with ...
