  • 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...

  • Large-scale laboratory observations of wave forces on a highway bridge superstructure

    Creator:
    Bradner, Christopher
    Abstract:
    The experimental setup and data are presented for a laboratory experiment conducted to examine realistic wave forcing on a highway bridge superstructure. The experiments measure wave conditions along with the resulting forces, pressures, and structural response of a 1:5 scale, reinforced concrete model of a typical section of the I-10...

  • Analysis of rip current embayments on the Oregon coast

    Creator:
    Dalon, Matthew M.
    Abstract:
    Understanding the past, present, and future behavior of our nation's shorelines is vital for sensible coastal management. Localized areas of erosion, termed "erosional hot spots", can shift the shoreline landward threatening coastal infrastructure (Kraus and Galgano, 2001; Stauble and Gravens, 2004; McNinch, 2004). One specific type of erosional hot spot...
