This literature review encompasses more than one-hundred and sixty worldwide studies on
artificial reefs (ARs) in terms of their design, application, performance and management …

Ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (Eco-DRR) is a concept of reducing the risk to
natural hazards by avoiding the developments and settlements in disaster-prone areas by …

A laboratory benchmark test for tsunami inundation through an urban waterfront including
free surface elevation, velocity, and specific momentum flux is presented and compared with …

Large-scale experiments on the pressure exerted on a tide wall due to the impact, reflection,
and overflow of tsunami inundation flow were carried out to investigate the characteristics of …

This paper reviews achievements and findings from studies associated with numerical
modeling of tsunami since the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, and addresses challenges for …

Floods resulting from extreme events like tsunamis may inundate widespread inland areas,
but vegetation can act as a natural buffer zone to reduce the inundation area and dissipate …

Coastal vegetation is widely recognized to reduce tsunami damage to people and buildings,
and it has been studied recently because it requires relatively little capital investment …

Wave experiments were conducted on a 1: 20 length scale to measure water surface
elevations and extreme pressures on and around idealized structural elements and arrays of …

A well-controlled experimental study was conducted to validate a numerical model of
boulder transport by tsunamis. The model can simulate boulder transport due to sliding …

A series of physical model experiments of tsunami inundation over an idealized industrial
site located in a coastal area were performed in this study. Two types of tsunami-like waves …
