Abstract: An extensive series of labroatory tests were conducted and these tests led to the development of a formula to predict runup elevation of random waves on gentle, smooth and impermeable slopes, as a function of surf similarity ...

Abstract: This paper examines wave height distributions in connection with wave grouping. The relationship between the groupiness factor,

Abstract: By employing a boundary-layer concept, the wave-induced fluctuation of pore-water pressure in an anisotropic seabed of semi-infinite depth is derived in a simple form, which contains the solution of the isotropic case. The ...

Abstract: This study investigates runup heights of random waves on a small diameter circular pier installed on a uniform slope bottom, by laboratory experiments under various conditions of waves, bottom slopes, and installed water ...

Abstract: This study examined the validity of using an artificial neural network (ANN) to predict tsunami water levels at several locations in Osaka Bay. The metropolitan areas of Osaka Bay have short warning times for tsunamis; a ...

Abstract: The wave-induced vertical effective stress near seabed surface is approximately expressed by subtracting the pore-water pressure from the sum of the vertical static effective stress in calm water and the wave pressure ...
