Extreme waves generated by hurricanes, together with storm surges, have led to severe
damage and even failures in many offshore structures. This paper presents a novel …

Tsunamis can cause destructive damage to coastal bridges resulting in huge economic
losses and human casualties. Different types of countermeasures can reduce the horizontal …

The use of flexible breakwaters to protect offshore areas from wave impacts has increased in
recent years, owing to their cost effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and simple …

Coastal bridges are vulnerable to extreme surges and waves during tsunamis and
hurricanes. Many of them have been significantly damaged or destroyed during past …

Extreme waves induced by hurricanes have caused severe damages of coastal bridges.
However, existing research studies mainly focus on the damage mechanisms under waves …

In harsh ocean environment, there are complex interactions between extreme surge waves
and strong wind during hurricanes. Coastal infrastructures, such as coastal bridges …

This study focuses on the hydrodynamic interaction between tsunami waves and bridge
girder. Firstly, a series of tsunami waves were experimentally generated by dam-break …

In ocean engineering, breakwater plays a crucial role in protecting coastal structures such
as bridge pier from the impact of extreme sea waves. However, enhancing the existing …

During hurricanes or typhoons, wave forces acting on low-lying coastal bridges can cause
significant damage to their decks. However, current research has paid little attention to the …

To protect the coastal communities and infrastructures from the devastating damages
caused by the extreme ocean surface waves during the severe weather conditions, many …
