Abstract: In the past, hydraulic and structural design has predominantly relied on deterministic methods, often neglecting the stochastic nature that underlies transient loading processes. Nowadays, probabilistic design methods have ...

Abstract: Recent extreme hydrodynamic events, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, 2005 Hurricane Katrina, and 2013 Typhoon Haiyan, have indicated the vulnerability of coastal communities. As a result, emphasis has been placed on ...

Abstract: Video footage from the 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Tohoku tsunamis showed large quantities of debris entrained within the inundating flows. Such extreme debris conditions can lead to a high probability for multiple impacts ...

Abstract: The entrainment of debris in tsunami-induced floods and storm surges can result in their accumulation on structures, a phenomenon known as debris damming. Such dams can decrease the stability of the affected structures by ...

Abstract: Forensic engineering field surveys conducted in the aftermath of large-scale tsunamis documented the presence of deep local scour holes around structures caused by extreme inundation occurring during such events. The ...

Abstract: The September 28, 2018 earthquake and tsunami, which occurred north of Palu City, Indonesia, attracted widespread interest from the scientific community due to the unusually large tsunami that occurred after a strike-slip ...

Abstract: Tsunamis continue to pose an existential threat to life and infrastructure in many coastal areas around the world. One of the risks associated with tsunamis is the formation of deep scour holes around critical infrastructure ...
