Rheological Response of Natural Soft Coastal Mud under Oscillatory Shear Loadings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The dynamic rheological properties of natural cohesive sediments are essential to understanding cohesive sediment transport under waves. In this study, dynamic rheological measurements of natural mud collected from Yueqing ... -
Availability and Accessibility for Offshore Operations in the Mediterranean Sea
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The study uses a 35-year data set, which can be used to provide a long-term assessment for assessing wave power resources, availability for wave energy converters (WECs), and multithreshold accessibility suitable for ... -
Novel Method of Construction-Efficiency Evaluation of Cutter Suction Dredger Based on Real-Time Monitoring Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A work condition monitoring system is widely used for recording the real-time states of cutter suction dredgers during the dredging process. However, the obtained data cannot provide enough actionable information directly ... -

Full-Scale Measurements and Method Validation of Container Ship Wave-Induced Motion at the Port of Fremantle
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this article, validation of numerical models of ship wave-induced motions in port-approach channels is carried out. A selected set of high-quality data from recent full-scale trials measuring vertical motions of container ... -
Runup of Laboratory-Generated Breaking Solitary and Periodic Waves on a Uniform Slope
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this article, we demonstrate that the normalized runup heights, R/H (R = runup height; H = incident wave height), for breaking solitary and periodic waves can be characterized by a single dimensionless parameter, called ... -
Variation of Wave Groupiness across a Fringing Reef
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A new definition of wave groupiness factor is proposed here based on wave-height history of wave trains. This new definition takes into account the dual roles of both zero-downcrossing wave height and wave period in the ... -
Control of Sediment Inflow into a Trapezoidal Intake Canal Using Submerged Vanes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Intake canals are used to withdraw water from rivers for various purposes. Sedimentation in the intake canal reduces the quality and quantity of water being delivered. In this study, experiments were conducted to control ... -
Improved Analytical Model for Estimating the Capacity of a Waterway Lock
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The many locks built in the development of inland waterborne transport networks in past decades have become major bottlenecks in the China waterway system. Capacity has become one of the most important waterway lock ... -
Estimation of Uplift Capacity and Installation Power of Helical Piles in Sand for Offshore Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In the offshore field, helical piles are being considered as a novel offshore pile system because of their flexibility regarding ease of installation and the large uplift capacity they can generate. This paper analyzes 12 ... -
Optimization of Bathymetry Estimates for Nearshore Hydrodynamic Models Using Bayesian Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A Bayesian inverse framework is developed to optimize the skill of a predictive numerical model via interpolation of bathymetric measurements to provide the most probable bathymetric surface. The numerical model is a coupled ... -
Hydro- and Morpho-dynamics Induced by a Vertical Slender Pile under Regular and Random Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper proposes an experimental study of the hydro- and morpho-dynamics induced by a slender vertical pile fitted into a sandy seabed and forced by sea waves in finite waters. The scour depth at the pile and the seabed ... -
Equilibrium Beach Profile with Net Cross-Shore Sand Transport
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Periodic beach-fill placement and frequent overwash result in net offshore and onshore sand transport, respectively. Three tests consisting of fifty 4-s runs were conducted in a small-scale wave flume to examine the effect ... -
Scour around Submerged Spur Dikes with Flexible Mattress Protection
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Flume experiments examining the effects of a flexible mattress on bed scour around spur dikes were conducted. Results showed that scour induced subsidence damage to the flexible mattress. If the width of flexible mattress, ... -
Influence of Water-Level Variations on Wave Transmission through Flushing Culverts Positioned in a Breakwater Body
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)An important aspect that must be considered in harbor design and construction is the water quality within the basin, which depends on the water exchange between the harbor and surrounding water body. Of the most internationally ... -
Numerical Modeling of Coastal Waves and Nearshore Currents on Adaptive Quadtree Grids
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Coastal wave-induced nearshore currents are likely present as waves propagate and break on shallow-water zones. Accurate and efficient predictions of coastal waves and wave-induced nearshore currents in coastal areas are ... -
CFD Investigation of Mutual Interaction between Hull, Propellers, and Rudders for an Inland Container Ship in Deep, Very Deep, Shallow, and Very Shallow Waters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A ship is generally characterized by three principal elements: the propulsive system, the steering system, and the hull geometry. The interaction between these elements is very strong; therefore, it is essential to be able ... -
