Effects of Wave Nonlinearity and Vertical Variation of Vegetation Density on Wave Attenuation

Creator:

Wu, Wei-Cheng

Abstract:

The understanding and prediction how coastal wetland vegetation attenuates wave action has received renewed attention with global climate change impacts and increasing populations on coastlines. Conventional attenuation models utilize empirical drag coefficients, but these coefficients exhibit a wide range of values, and there is some uncertainty in the relative importance...

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...
