Performance Assessment of Geosynthetic Reinforced Quay Walls under Concurrent Tsunami and Earthquake Aftershocks

Abstract

AbstractCoastal structures are built against the dynamic loadings from waves, tides, and storms. However, natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis can impart additional loadings on these structures that might exceed their design specifications. ...Practical ApplicationsThis study offers a critical advancement in understanding the performance of geosynthetic reinforced quay walls under the simultaneous impacts of tsunamis and earthquake aftershocks. These findings address a pressing need for the ...
