Source and characteristics of the tsunami observed along the coast of the Pacific Northwest on March 28, 1964

Creator:: Schatz, Clifford Eugene
Abstract:: The physical linkage between oceanic earthquakes and most tsunamis is generally accepted. The commonly offered method of generation of a tsunami calls for displacement of submarine blocks of the earth's crust. But, the mechanism of communication of seismic energy to the water by the impulsive movements of the sea floor...

Influence of macro-roughness on tsunami runup & forces

Creator:: Bridges, Kerri-Jane
Abstract:: This thesis is comprised of a manuscript based on a laboratory experiment run in the Tsunami Wave Basin as part of a research project funded by the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation called Housesmash. The purpose of the experiment was to better understand the role of the urban environment, represented...

Laboratory observations of tsunami runup on a complex 3D bathymetry using PIV

Creator:: Ichikawa, Shingo
Abstract:: This thesis presents the details of a large-scale laboratory experiment to study the runup velocity on a complex 3D bathymetry. The PIV measurements including the instrumental setup, the recording procedure, and the image processing are presented. Tsunami inundation directly affects the coastal population and is one of the most important...

Tsunami inundation : estimating damage and predicting flow properties

Creator:: Wiebe, Dane Michael
Abstract:: The 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Tohoku tsunami events have shown the destructive power of tsunami inundation to the constructed environment in addition to the tragic loss of life. A comparable event is expected for the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) which will impact the west coast of North America. Research...

Hydraulic experiments on impact forces from tsunami-driven debris

Creator:: Ko, Harrison T.
Abstract:: Impact by an idealized shipping container on a column were observed for tsunami flow in a large-scale wave flume modeled at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University. Two specimen types, aluminum and acrylic, were tested; and each specimen was tested in two orientations, longitudinal and transverse....

Assessing the Risk and Resilience of Coastal Communities: An Application to the Joint Seismic-Tsunami Hazard at Seaside, Oregon

Creator:: Sanderson, Dylan, R.
Abstract:: This thesis presents two conceptually linked papers outlining methodologies to improve community resilience. Both papers employ Seaside, Oregon as a testbed community and consider the seismic-tsunami hazard posed by the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The first paper presents a framework to deaggregate the results of a multi-hazard, multi-infrastructure, damage analysis by...

Review of guidelines for the design of tsunami vertical evacuation buildings

Creator:: Cawley, Jessica Grace
Abstract:: Tsunamis have the potential to inflict severe damage and loss of life in coastal communities. Structures known as vertical evacuation buildings provide an alternative evacuation site for communities living in relatively flat, coastal regions with inadequate sources of high ground for evacuation. Design of these structures balances risk and economy,...

Analysis of pressure variations observed at the ocean bottom during the 2003 Tokachi-Oki earthquake

Creator:: Li, Wenwen
Abstract:: Most tsunami studies have been conducted based on the incompressible fluid theory. However water compressibility must be considered for the process of tsunami generation by bottom displacements during submarine earthquakes. During the 2003 Tokachi-Oki earthquake, the ocean-bottom pressure variations were registered by the pressure gauges PG1 and PG2 located right...

Agent-based Tsunami Evacuation Model : Life Safety and Network Resilience

Creator:: Mostafizi, Alireza
Abstract:: Natural disasters could result in unnecessary loss of life and disproportionate suffering to families and communities if evacuation plans are not in place or understood by the public. In the Pacific Northwest, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami from the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) represents one of the most pressing...

Tsunami propagation in large rivers : idealized cases and the Columbia River Estuary

Creator:: Kalmbacher, Kirk D.
Abstract:: The hazards associated with tsunamis are well known and have been studied for decades. The majority of research is, however, focused on open coastlines which bear the brunt of a tsunamis force. Other regions that can be strongly impacted by a tsunami are large estuaries. Here, the tsunami encounters a...
