Approaches in Scaling Small-Scale Experiments on the Breaking Wave Interactions with a Vertical Wall Attached with Recurved Parapets
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The breaking wave interactions on a vertical wall with three different recurved parapets were examined in two different scales (1:1 and 1:8) to study the scale effects. A similar testing condition with that of the large ...
Hydrodynamics and Associated Scour around a Free-Standing Structure Due to Turbulent Bores
Publisher: ASCE
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 ...
Spatiotemporal Scouring Processes around a Square Column on a Sloped Beach Induced by Tsunami Bores
Publisher: ASCE
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 ...
