  • Centrifuge Modeling of Soil Response to Tsunami-like Rapid Flooding and the Subsequent Drawdown

    Creator:
    Exton, Margaret C.
    Abstract:
    Soil instability from tsunami hazards causes substantial damage to coastal infrastructure (e.g., the damage caused by the 2011 Great East Japan Tsunami, or the Heisei Tsunami). Tsunamis are unpredictable, so it is difficult to obtain field-scale measurements. Simulating tsunamis in a laboratory setting is therefore important to further understanding of...
