Compressive Sensing–Based Reconstruction of Sea Free-Surface Elevation on a Vertical Wall
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Measuring the free-surface displacement on a vertical wall of a marine structure is not a trivial problem. In this context, the efficacy of ultrasonic probes is affected by the interaction between the signal emitted by the ... -
Keying Process of the OmniMax Anchor Shallowly Embedded in Undrained Normally Consolidated Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The OmniMax anchor is an efficient anchoring foundation due to its dynamic installation and diving property. When subjected to pullout loading, the anchor is keyed to a new orientation and position to provide holding ... -
North Sea Wave Analysis Using Data Assimilation and Mesoscale Model Forcing Winds
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This article explores the use of the ensemble Kalman filter technique to improve the accuracy of North Sea wave field analyses. A nonhydrostatic convective-permitting mesoscale model was used to provide high-resolution ... -
Experimental Study of Tsunami-Like Waves Generated with a Vertical Release Technique on Dry and Wet Beds
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Tsunamis, impulse waves, and dam failures are disasters that challenge humanity, often leading to massive casualties and extreme economic losses. The highly unsteady flow conditions generated by such events are often in ... -
Critical Examination of Shoreface Sediment Volume as an Indicator of Coastal Stability in Poland
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents analyses of a coastal stability indicator, recently introduced in Poland, that was based on a nearshore sediment volume found between +2 and −6 m ordinates. This purely empirical indicator was developed ... -

Probabilistic Investigation and Risk Assessment of Debris Transport in Extreme Hydrodynamic Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Recent extreme hydrodynamic events, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, 2005 Hurricane Katrina, and 2013 Typhoon Haiyan, have indicated the vulnerability of coastal communities. As a result, emphasis has been placed on ... -
Analysis of Tsunami Tide Gauge Records Following the 2016 Ecuadorian Earthquake and Tsunami
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The devastating April 16, 2016, Pedernales, Ecuador, Mw 7.8 earthquake was among a sequence of ruptures that occurred along the seismically segmented North Andean subduction zone. It caused 700 fatalities, and more than ... -
Effect of Harbor Walls on the Efficiency of an Oscillating Water Column
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Among the numerous wave-energy converters (WECs), the oscillating water column (OWC), which runs on the concept of capturing energy from the rise and fall of the water column in a closed chamber resulting from wave motion, ... -
Laboratory Study on Erosion of Vegetated HPTRM System under High-Speed Open-Channel Flow
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)High-performance turf reinforcement mat (HPTRM) is a technology to strengthen the vegetation lining and enhance its anti-erosion capability. Existing studies on the erosion resistance of vegetated HPTRM systems are mainly ... -
In Situ Assessment of Sediment Erosion and Consolidation State Using a Free-Fall Penetrometer: Sydney Harbour, Nova Scotia
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Two in situ geotechnical surveys were undertaken in Sydney Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada, following the dredging and relocation of 4.2 million m3 of sediment from the shipping channel during the fall and winter of late 2011 ... -
Validation of Container Ship Squat Modeling Using Full-Scale Trials at the Port of Fremantle
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this paper, selected results are presented from a set of recent full-scale trials measuring the dynamic sinkage, trim, and heel of 16 container ship transits entering and leaving the Port of Fremantle, Western Australia. ... -
Artificial Neural Network for Forecasting Wave Heights along a Ship’s Route during Hurricanes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A data-driven prediction model using numerical solutions is proposed for forecasting wave heights along shipping routes during hurricanes. The developed model can be used to determine the wave heights on a ship’s trajectory, ... -
Application of the SPH Method to Breaking and Undular Tidal Bores on a Movable Bed
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Investigation of breaking and undular tidal bores is a challenging problem in river mouths as fluid flows upstream, where significant bed erosion and scour take place under the bore. In this study, smoothed particle ... -
Sensitivity of Storm Surge Predictions to Atmospheric Forcing during Hurricane Isaac
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Storm surge and overland flooding can be predicted with computational models at high levels of resolution. To improve efficiency in forecasting applications, surge models often use atmospheric forcing from parametric vortex ... -
Optimization of Spacing for Oscillating Wave Surge Converter Arrays Using Genetic Algorithm
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The oscillating wave surge converter (OWSC) is a type of ocean wave power device typically consisting of a flap, or arm, hinged at the bottom to allow forward and backward movement by surging waves, and is efficient in ... -
