Mine Burial Induced by Local Scour and Sandwaves
The main objective of this effort has been the direct observation and monitoring of the burial process of finite-length cylinders (model mines) induced by the combined action of waves, currents and pure oscillatory flows. The experimental conditions have made it possible to observe the burial process due to both local scour around the mines as well as the passage of large sandwaves. These rathe...
متن کاملLocal Scour at Single Column Arrangement of Bridge Piles Group
In regard to wide piers, the pile group rather than single pile is used frequently to bear the loading of the structure in a particular arrangement; piles group composed of only one column of piles in the flow direction has a great effect on supporting the bridge deck. In this study, local scour at a single column arrangement of the piles group made up of four rows of piles characterized by dif...
متن کاملReduction of Tsunami Inundation Energy by the Modification of Coastal Topography Based on Local Wisdom
Local wisdoms such as a tradition, land-use system and etc. had sometimes mitigated tsunami damages in Indonesia. The effective use of those local wisdoms is strongly desired especially in developing countries, because it is quite difficult for those countries to allocate enough budgets for constructing hard type countermeasures against tsunami. Among local wisdoms against tsunami hazard, this ...
متن کاملCoastal mangrove forests mitigated tsunami
A study conducted after the 26th of December 2004 tsunami in 18 coastal hamlets along the south-east coast of India reiterates the importance of coastal mangrove vegetations and location characteristics of human inhabitation to protect lives and wealth from the fury of tsunami. The tsunami caused human death and loss of wealth and these decreased with the area of coastal vegetation, distance an...
متن کاملTsunami Generation by Submarine Mass Failure
Numerical experiments are conducted for two-dimensional model problems of tsunami generation by underwater slides and slumps. These problems consist of a semi-ellipse, translating down an incline with a prescribed center of mass motion. For each problem, this motion is derived as a function of geometric and material parameters, and we calculate corresponding characteristic tsunami amplitudes. L...
