Long Wave Amplification in a Coral-Reef Lagoon

Creator:

Bheeroo, Vivek Anand

Abstract:

A series of laboratory experiments were conducted to study the wave field in the inner lagoon excited by ‘long’ incident waves. Three cases were considered: Cases A, B and C presenting incident waves of wavelength with factors of 1, 2 and 2.5 times the width of the reef respectively. The...

Boulder Transport by High Energy Surge

Creator:

Harry, Samuel T.

Abstract:

Boulder transport models have been used to develop a historical record of hydrodynamic events. This is done by evaluating the size, location, and composition of boulders that have been removed from their region of formation. Boulder transport is difficult to predict, even under laboratory conditions. Experiments were conducted to evaluate...

Review of guidelines for the design of tsunami vertical evacuation buildings

Creator:

Cawley, Jessica Grace

Abstract:

Tsunamis have the potential to inflict severe damage and loss of life in coastal communities. Structures known as vertical evacuation buildings provide an alternative evacuation site for communities living in relatively flat, coastal regions with inadequate sources of high ground for evacuation. Design of these structures balances risk and economy,...
