Centrifuge Modeling for Seismic Response of Fixed-End Model Piles Considering Local Scour
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )The soil around offshore foundations usually suffers from local scour, which is widely believed to undermine the bearing capacity and serviceability of the foundations. However, the extent to which this undermining effect ... -
Port Construction Planning: Automated System for Projecting Expansion Needs
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )The growing demand for maritime transport imposes several challenges to port authorities, including reducing port congestion, planning for expansion projects, and allocating budgets for such capital projects. To address ... -
Numerical Analysis of Seismic Water Level Oscillations in Canals
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )Water level oscillations induced by the ground motion of an earthquake have occasionally been observed in a closed or partially enclosed water system. The generated water disturbances can induce localized flooding, boat ... -
Selection of JONSWAP Spectra Parameters during Water-Depth and Sea-State Transitions
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )The design of marine structures requires the simulation of wave parameters that consider sea-state and water-depth transitions. Proper selection of the model coefficients (e.g., alpha and gamma of the JONSWAP spectra) is ... -
Conceptual Evaluation of Tsunami Debris Field Damming and Impact Forces
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )The damage caused by tsunamis to coastal communities is often not only the result of the flowing water itself, but also of transported debris. Although there have been efforts to characterize forces from single-debris ... -
Site-Specific Sediment Deposition Model for Dredging Planning: Case Study of Olmsted Locks and Dam
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)This study develops a site-specific analysis of sediment transport for the in-the-wet construction of Olmsted Locks and Dam on the Ohio River using the HEC-RAS model. Results from the analysis are used to assess the frequency ... -
Lateral Bearing Performance of a Defective Pile-Supported Wharf with Batter Piles
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)The lateral bearing performance of a defective pile-supported wharf located on a slope was investigated through centrifuge modeling, and a numerical model was employed to back-analyze the centrifuge test data. The pile ... -
Numerical Simulation of Turbidity Current in Approach Channels with a Closed End
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)This study aims to gain insights into turbidity currents in approach channels with a closed end. A vertical two-dimensional numerical model was introduced, which considers the viscosity of sediment and assumes rheological ... -
Front Wall and In-Chamber Impact Loads on a Breakwater-Integrated Oscillating Water Column
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)This work aims to enhance the evidence base of extreme impact loads on the front (outer) wall and within the chamber of an oscillating water column (OWC) integrated into a vertical breakwater. Data are from large-scale ... -
Maneuverability-Based Approach for Ship–Bank Collision Probability under Strong Wind and Ship–Bank Interaction
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)Ship–bank collisions linked to strong wind and ship–bank interaction pose a great threat to ships with large windage areas in restricted waters. In the analysis of ship–bank collision probability, maneuvering simulations ... -
Estimation of Water Column Surface Displacement of a Fixed Oscillating Water Column by Simple Mechanical Model with Determination of Hydrodynamic Parameters via Physical Experimental Model
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)For the first time, hydrodynamic parameters such as damping coefficient, added mass, and the natural and resonant frequency of a bottom-fixed oscillating water column (OWC) are determined for various underwater chamber ... -
Characterizing Vessel Traffic Using the AIS: A Case Study in Florida's Largest Estuary
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)Tampa Bay, FL, is a large, ecologically rich estuary that hosts one of the largest commercial ports in Florida. Automatic identification system (AIS) records from 2015 to 2017 were used to determine the number, size, speed, ... -
Study on the Self-Sustaining Inlet Boundary Conditions for Numerical Simulation on Local Scour
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)In previous numerical simulations of local scour, the steady flow is normally adopted as the inlet boundary condition, and the approach flow is always assumed as a homogeneous isotropic turbulence. In the present study, ... -
Hurricane Michael in the Area of Mexico Beach, Florida
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)Category 5 Hurricane Michael made landfall near Mexico Beach, Florida on October 9, 2018, with measured high water marks (HWMs) reaching 7.2 m NAVD88. The town itself received great damage, with many areas destroyed down ... -
Sign Constrained Bayesian Inference for Nonstationary Models of Extreme Events
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)Recent studies show that many of the extreme events in hydrology can be modeled more realistically by means of a nonstationary generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution. However, existing approaches for estimating the ... -
Multibody Interactions of Floating Bodies with Time-Domain Predictions
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)The applications and computational capability of the three-dimensional transient numerical panel code ITU-WAVE using potential theory approximation is further extended for the effects of the multibody interactions in arrays ... -
Flume Tank Testing of Offshore Wind Turbine Dynamics with Foundation Scour and Scour Protection
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)Scour erosion processes can occur at seabed level around offshore wind turbine monopile foundations. These scour processes are often especially severe at sites where mobile sediments, such as sands, are present in the ... -
Sea Level Rise and Shoreline Change under Changing Climate Along the Indian Coastline
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)The climate change induced by global warming is predicted to change the rate of sea level rise (SLR) and that of shoreline shifts. In this study, the SLR as well as the resulting retreat of shorelines has been predicted ... -
Mini-Tsunami Made by Ship Moving Across a Depth Change
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)A ship moving across a shallow depth change, in water in a small or narrow space, may create a small tsunami, 0.5–1 km long, observed as a harbor wave on shore, where a wave height up to 1.4 m has been measured. The paper ... -
Development of a Probabilistic Framework for Debris Transport and Hazard Assessment in Tsunami-Like Flow Conditions
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)In the past, hydraulic and structural design has predominantly relied on deterministic methods, often neglecting the stochastic nature that underlies transient loading processes. Nowadays, probabilistic design methods have ...
