In this study, dam-break flows occurring on different downstream/upstream water depth
ratios (α= 0, 0.1, and 0.4) and different obstacle shapes are numerically modeled in 2D and …

Hydraulic engineering of dams and their appurtenant structures counts among the essential
tasks to successfully design safe water-retaining reservoirs for hydroelectric power …

The interest in applying coastal boulders as a proxy for high-energy wave events, ie,
tsunamis and major storms, increased significantly during the last two decades. Studies …

Tsunamis, landslide-generated waves, and dam failures are rare, but highly destructive
phenomena, associated with extreme loading on infrastructure. Recent events showed that …

This paper focuses on the evolution of wave front profile of dam-break waves. Firstly, dam-
break waves with various initial upstream and downstream water depths are conducted …

Solitary waves (SWs) are often applied to the investigation of the hydraulic characteristics of
tsunamis. However, SWs not only have a considerably narrower distribution than an actual …

This paper takes an offshore continuous rigid bridge as the background bridge to reveal the
dynamic response law of an offshore bridge under the action of earthquake and tsunami. A …

In this study, the impact process on a vertical wall due to the dam-break-induced surge was
investigated experimentally. The entire surge impact process is classified into three stages …

Recent catastrophic tsunamis, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Tohoku events,
have underscored the need for resilient coastal infrastructure. Field investigations in the …

Since tsunamis pose a threat to many coastal areas, the mitigation of tsunami forces is
important in saving lives and reducing damage when a tsunami comes. Barriers are …
