At 14: 46 local time on March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred off the coast of
northeast Japan. This earthquake generated a tsunami that struck Japan as well as various …

As tsunami waves propagate towards the shoreline, they break where the water depth is
approximately equal to the incident wave height. Following breaking, waves run up the …

This study investigates tsunami-like solitary waves impinging and overtopping an
impermeable trapezoidal seawall on a 1: 20 sloping beach. New laboratory experiments are …

Tsunamis are destructive natural phenomena which cause extensive damage to the built
environment, affecting the livelihoods and economy of the impacted nations. This has been …

This chapter deals with the estimation of tsunami-induced hydrodynamic forces on
infrastructure located in the vicinity of the shoreline. While extensive research has been …

The results of a comprehensive research program on tsunami-induced forces on
infrastructure located in coastal areas are presented. This research project is the result of an …
