ASCE ( American Society of Civil Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Civil Engineers represents more than 150,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest engineering society. ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment.

Runup on Columns in Steep, Deep Water Regular Waves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental study of runup on slender columns in steep, deep water waves is described. The depth, steepness, and scattering regimes were chosen to be representative of semisubmersibles in storm waves. Runup predictions ...
Wave Kinematics and Surface Parameters of Steep Waves Traveling on Sheared Currents
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Measurements have been made of the velocity field and wave parameters for large waves on a moderately sheared current in a wave flume. Comparisons are made between the velocity fields measured with particle image velocimetry ...
Measured Internal Kinematics for Shoaling Waves with Theoretical Comparisons
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Measurements of both the velocities and Eulerian accelerations have been made in the crests of waves at their breaking point. Measurement close to the wave surface (5 mm) has been made possible by the use of a very rapid ...
Experimental Study of Three‐Dimensional Wave Breaking
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The present study investigates two cases of three‐dimensional wave breaking. In the first case, the wave field contains a single frequency with a uniform angular spreading within a given range
