  • Physical Modeling of Progressive Damage and Failure of Wood-Frame Coastal Residential Structures Due to Waves and Surge Forces

    Creator:
    Duncan, Sean M.
    Abstract:
    A physical model study was performed to examine the forces and response of 1:6 scale wood-frame coastal residential structures subjected to storm surge and waves. An on-grade and an elevated specimen were tested and exposed to regular waves with varying water depths and wave heights to simulate Hurricane Sandy’s conditions....

  • 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...

  • Numerical Studies on Fluid-Structure Interaction and Applications

    Creator:
    Chen, Ming
    Abstract:
    Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) has been of significant research interest worldwide over the past several decades because of its variety of applications in both offshore and coastal engineering. Researchers analyzing FSI systems rely heavily on experimental tests in model scale in laboratories or large-scale sea trials. However, these tests are often...

  • Large-scale laboratory observations of wave breaking turbulence on a fixed barred beach

    Creator:
    Scott, Christopher P.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the details of a large-scale laboratory experiment to study the turbulence generated by waves breaking on a fixed barred beach. The data set includes comprehensive measurements of free surface displacement and fluid velocity for one random and one regular wave case. Observations of the time-averaged turbulent kinetic...

  • 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...

  • Laboratory observations and numerical modeling of inner surf and swash zone hydrodynamics on a steep slope

    Creator:
    Shin, Sungwon
    Abstract:
    Laboratory data of free surface elevations and fluid velocities were obtained using a laser-Doppler velocimeter for the case of a periodic wave plunging over an impermeable, steep (1:10) slope with a fixed bottom roughness. The measurements were conducted over 15 cross-shore locations from the outer surf zone to the swash...

  • 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....

  • 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...

    Abstract:
    This thesis consists of two papers in manuscript format. The first paper presents optical measurements of tsunami inundation through an urban waterfront in a laboratory wave basin. The physical model was constructed at 1:50 scale and was an idealization of the town of Seaside, Oregon. The paper presents an analysis...
