An investigation on the modeling of wave field transformation and shoreline morphology near steep bathymetric features

Creator:

Michalsen, David R.

Abstract:

Steep bathymetric anomalies in the beach profile, such as offshore borrow pits, submerged breakwaters, and nearshore canyons can significantly transform the wave climate through the effects of refraction, diffraction, and reflection. When located in the nearshore region the modified wave climate can also substantially change the location of breaking and...

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...
