Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami generated a massive tsunami that devastated Kujukuri Beach in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. The possibility that edge waves were involved in the propagation mechanism of the tsunami was ...
Numerical Analysis of Seismic Water Level Oscillations in Canals
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Water level oscillations induced by the ground motion of an earthquake have occasionally been observed in a closed or partially enclosed water system. The generated water disturbances can induce localized flooding, boat ...
