Numerical Analysis of the Dynamic Response of an Offshore Platform with a Pile-Soil Foundation System Subjected to Random Waves and Currents
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)In this study, a three-dimensional numerical model was developed based on a modal analysis and substructure method. The devised model was employed for an evaluation of the dynamic response of a bottom-mounted platform with ... -
Earthen Levee Shear Stress Estimates for Combined Wave Overtopping and Surge Overflow
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)A total of 25 small-scale laboratory experiments simulating combined wave overtopping and storm-surge overflow on a trapezoidal levee were conducted at a nominal prototype-to-model scale of -
Hydrodynamics around an Artificial Surfing Reef at Leirosa, Portugal
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)As a new alternative countermeasure to protect the coastal zone and to increase the surfing possibilities in the Leirosa area of Portugal, multifunctional artificial reefs were investigated numerically in this paper. The ... -
Shear Stress Measurements and Erosion Implications for Wave and Combined Wave-Current Generated Flows
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Sediment transport in wave-dominated environments is of great interest for dredged material placement, contaminated sediments, habitat protection, and other issues. The shear stress at the sediment-water interface during ... -
Scale Effects of Impulse Wave Run-Up and Run-Over
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Hydraulic models differing from prototype scale are affected by model effects. Despite these effects, which are often negligible, they may become important in very small scales involving, for instance, small water depths. ... -
Numerical Simulation of the Tidal Flow and Suspended Sediment Transport in the Qiantang Estuary
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Results from a numerical modeling study are presented to investigate the tidal elevations, tidal current velocity, bed deformation, and suspended sediment concentration in the Qiantang Estuary, China. The Qiantang Estuary ... -
Effect of Breaking Waves and External Current on Longshore Sediment Transport
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The effects of external currents on the longshore current and sediment transport in the surf zone are examined using the cross-shore numerical model CSHORE, which is extended to include the alongshore pressure gradient ... -
Stability Formula for Tetrapods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)A stability formula has been developed for Tetrapods armoring rubble mound breakwaters based on hydraulic model test results of the present and previous studies. The formula is applicable to breakwaters with various slope ... -
Near-Field Resuspension Model for a Cutter Suction Dredge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The quantity of resuspended solids (RSS) created during dredging operations is both a production and environmental issue. Numerical models predict the movement of sediment plumes from dredging operations; however, these ... -
Two-Dimensional Numerical Model of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway near New Orleans
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Two-dimensional tidal flows within the Lake Pontchartrain–Lake Borgne area (Louisiana) are simulated to assess the effects of the surge protection structure on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) on navigation conditions. ... -
Assessment of the Effectiveness of a Sea-Level Observing Network for Tsunami Warning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)In this study, the Bureau of Meteorology’s recently expanded sea-level observing network is assessed for its ability to contribute to tsunami warnings. This is done by using modelled tsunami travel times and examining the ... -

Influence of Finite-Length Seawalls for Tsunami Loading on Coastal Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)This paper presents new experimental data and predictive equations for the reduction of the tsunami inundation force provided by finite-length seawalls. The hydraulic model experiments were conducted in a rectangular basin ... -
Effects of Tide and River Discharge on Mud Transport on Intertidal Flat
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Fine-grained sediment budgets based on the monthly bed level and net sediment flux monitoring from October 2006 to October 2007 are estimated to examine the relative contributions of tides and river discharge to mud transport ... -

Reducing Underwater-Slide Impact Forces on Pipelines by Streamlining
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Results are presented from experiments and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations involving the streamlining of suspended underwater pipelines or structures subject to impacts from sediment/water mixtures. The ... -
Static Analysis of the Lumped Mass Cable Model Using a Shooting Algorithm
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)This paper focuses on a method to solve the static configuration for a lumped mass cable system. The method demonstrated here is intended to be used prior to performing a dynamics simulation of the cable. Conventional ... -
Process-Based Coastal Erosion Modeling for Drew Point, North Slope, Alaska
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)A predictive, coastal erosion/shoreline change model has been developed for a small coastal segment near Drew Point, Beaufort Sea, Alaska. This coastal setting has experienced a dramatic increase in erosion since the early ... -
Small-Scale Field Experiment on Wave Forces on Upright Breakwaters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)A small-scale field experiment was conducted on wave forces on upright breakwaters, and the following observations were made. The largest waves in a sea state yield one of two very characteristic time histories of the ... -
Statistical Analysis of Stress Histories for Fatigue Damage Design of Floating Fish Cages
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Floating fish cages provide the main production utilities for salmon farming. However, despite their pivotal role in production safety as well as in protection of the environment, much room exists for further development ...
