Tsunamis pose a significant threat to coastal engineering. A comprehensive physical
experiment was conducted to examine the effect of air chambers on vertical structures with …

This study aimed to propose a stochastic model for the impact pressure generated by water
surge impingement onto a vertical wall. Carefully controlled laboratory experiments were …

Tsunami bores have a strong destructive ability, capable of damaging coastal structures and
endangering human life. This study focuses on the interactions between tsunami bores and …

Four tests were conducted to investigate the wave attenuation and dike stability
effectiveness of a basic dike, a dike that combined with the submerged breakwater, with …

A series of two-dimensional flume experiments were carried out to study turbulent bore
impact on the vertical wall mounted on a reef flat. Turbulent bores were generated by solitary …

This paper presents flume experiments and numerical simulations of focused wave group
propagation over an idealized fringing reef profile and its impact on the vertical wall …

High-resolution free-surface elevation measurement is challenging due to the rapid
evolution of unsteady flow. In this study, using dam-break flow as an example, the …

This study investigates the effectiveness of a new discrete V-shaped coastal barrier (V-wall)
to reduce multiple tsunami-bore impacts on a group of idealized coastal structures. The …

A 1: 16 scaled physical model was constructed to investigate the effectiveness of a seawall,
a submerged breakwater, and mangrove forests to mitigate overland flooding and forces on …

Coastal bridges serve as lifelines connecting affected areas to the outside world after
extreme events such as tsunamis. It is thus important to predict tsunami loads applied to …
