The goal of this study was to develop an understanding of the nature of surge wave loading on
wood framed residential structures for a variety of building configurations and test conditions.
The objectives of the study ...

The goal of this research project is to determine the fractal nature, if any, which
certain surface water waves exhibit when viewed on a microscopic scale. We make
use of the mathematical formulation of non-viscous flu ...
In this dissertation the interactions between hydrodynamics, sediment suspension and transport, and morphological evolution in the surf zone was investigated with a large-scale laboratory experiment data, CROss-Shore Sed ...
Two types of linear random wave simulation methods are investigated;
viz., (1) Deterministic Spectral Amplitude (DSA) and (2) Nondeterministic
Spectral Amplitude (NSA). These linear simulations are extended to
second- ...
Since 2004 there have been multiple devastating tsunamis around the globe triggered by large magnitude earthquakes; with the most recent being the Tohoku, Japan tsunami in March 2011. These tsunamis have caused significa ...
