Bearing Capacity of Breakwater Subjected to Tsunami-Induced Scour

Numerical Study on Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Using a Submerged Breakwater

Most coastal structures have been built in surf zones to protect coastal areas. In general, the transformation of waves in the surf zone is quite complicated and numerous hazards to coastal communities may be associated with such phenomena. Therefore, the behavior of waves in the surf zone should be carefully analyzed and predicted. Furthermore, an accurate analysis of deformed waves around coa...

Turbulent characteristics in flow subjected to bed suction and jet injection as a pier-scour countermeasure

The effect of a combined system of the bed suction and jet injection as a pier-scour countermeasure on the turbulent flow field is studied in a laboratory flume using an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV). The three components of the velocities in the vertical symmetry plane in the equilibrium scour hole in front and rear of the pier under 3-jet injections and bed suction rate Qs/Q0 = 2%located...

Study of Load Bearing Capacity of Profiled Steel Sheet Wall Subjected to Combined Bending and Vertical Compression in Electrostatic Precipitator

For some electrostatic precipitators, profiled steel sheets are used as casing wall which is subjected to both bending and vertical compression. By nonlinear finite element method, the influences of structural parameters on load bearing capacity of profiled steel sheet wall were investigated. For the loading path, the uniform transversal pressure was applied firstly, and then the vertical compr...
