Evaluation of the Structure of Levee Transitions on Wave Run-Up and Overtopping by Physical Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Coastal regions are continually plagued by high water levels induced by river flooding or hurricane-induced storm surge. As with any protective structure, it is essential to understand potential problematic locations that ...
Probabilistic Tsunami Damage Assessment for Structural Mitigation Policy Guidance
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Some areas of the California coast have physical conditions—such as local bathymetry, topography, shoreline orientation, and other factors—that increase the risk for damage from tsunami inundation compared with other ...
Numerical Simulations of Nonlinear Short Waves Using a Multilayer Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The multilayer model developed by Lynett and Liu is used for simulating the evolution of deep-water waves in a constant depth. The computational model is tested with experimental data for nonlinear monochromatic and ...
Hurricane Michael in the Area of Mexico Beach, Florida
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Category 5 Hurricane Michael made landfall near Mexico Beach, Florida on October 9, 2018, with measured high water marks (HWMs) reaching 7.2 m NAVD88. The town itself received great damage, with many areas destroyed down ...
