Experimental and Numerical Simulations of Tsunami-Structures Interaction
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently, with the support of the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation Program of the National Science Foundation in the US, Oregon State University (OSU) has completed the upgrading of a Tsunami Wave Basin Facility to support experimental and computational tsunami research. This paper briefly describes the physical experimental facility and selected experimental and numerical models at OSU for tsunami structure interaction modeling testing and simulation, provides a discussion on the development of comprehensive experimental and some challenges in experimental and numerical simulations of large-scale tsunami structure interaction is presented.

GPU-SPH simulation of Tsunami-like wave interaction with a seawall associated with underwater
Investigation of the waves generated by underwater disturbances gives precious insight into the effect of man-made underwater explosions as well as natural phenomena, such as underwater volcanoes or oceanic meteor impact. On the other hand, prediction of the effects of such waves on the coastal installations and structures is required for preparation worthwhile criteria for coastal engineers to...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Tsunami and Storm Surge Hydrodynamic Loads on Coastal Bridge Structures
Bridge structures along the coasts are often subjected to hydrodynamics loads of various forms and intensities. The most dramatic loads are those due to tsunamis and storm surges as vividly demonstrated by images of the Dec. 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and the Sept. 2005 Katrina Hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. Other loads include wave impact, current induced scour, and floating debris impact. Th...

Thin-walled energy absorbers are used to reduce accident induced damages. In this study, thin-walled stainless steel structures in quasi-hemisphere geometry were subjected under quasi-static loading with Santam 150KN apparatus. Experimental results were compared with results of numerical simulations by LS-DYNA and it was shown that there is a good agreement between experimental and numerical r...
متن کاملNumerical Modeling of Tsunami Waves Interaction with Porous and Impermeable Vertical Barriers
Tsunami wave interaction with coastal regions is responsible for very important human and economic losses. In order to properly design coastal defenses against these natural catastrophes, new numerical models need to be developed that complement existing laboratory measurements and field data. The use of numerical models based on the Navier-Stokes equations appears as a reasonable approach due ...
متن کاملNumerical and Experimental Study of Soil-structure Interaction in Structures Resting on Loose Soil Using Laminar Shear Box
In the present work, the effect of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) in low frequency structures resting on loose soil, through numerical modelling and shaking table tests have been studied. In theoretical studies two types of models namely fixed base and flexible base structure were subjected to three selected earthquake records. Nonlinear dynamic analysis was employed for all of the numerical ...
