Developing tools to improve tsunami resilient design of coastal structures

Creator:

Thomas, Seth Alan

Abstract:

Over the last decade the world has seen three major tsunamis strike the coasts of Indonesia, Samoa, and Chile. These tsunamis have caused significant losses of life and property on the coastal cities of these and nearby countries. The NEES (Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation) Housesmash project was created to...

Observations and prediction of intermittent sediment suspension in the surf zone

Creator:

Yoon, Hyun Doug

Abstract:

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 Sediment Transport Experiment (CROSSTEX). The data set included comprehensive measurements of water surface elevation, fluid velocity, sediment concentration, and morphology for irregular waves...

The Art of Reducing Coastal Hazard Complexity: Coupling Physics and Probability to Understand Extremes, Variability, and Climate-dependence

Creator:

Anderson, Dylan L.

Abstract:

Coastal hazards are the result of numerous physical processes cumulatively causing water levels to flood and erode the land. The waves, storm surges, tides, and run-off contributing to elevated water levels are each the product of chaotic and random weather patterns. These stochastic weather patterns dissipate energy in Earth's climate...
