Description

This study attempts to quantify uplift loads from a solitary wave and assess the applicability of those findings to tsunami loading. A representative wharf model at a 1/90 scale was constructed and attached to an adjustable slope which was varied from 25° to 35° to study the effects of the coastal bathymetry on which the structures sit, and peak uplift pressures were recorded over a range of wave amplitudes. A series of probability distributions were created that detailed the likelihood that ...
