About this document
Tsunami Forces on Coastal Bridge Decks by Eduardo Nuñez Castellanos is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document presents an experimental study on tsunami loads affecting coastal bridge decks, utilizing a large-scale laboratory experiment and numerical simulations to analyze fluid impact forces. The findings validate a nonlinear hydrodynamic model and explore how variations in bridge elevation and wave height influence the forces experienced by the bridge. An improved design procedure is proposed based on the results, aimed at enhancing the resilience of coastal bridges to tsunami impacts.
