Despite recent advancements in hurricane hazard characterization and a better
understanding of the vulnerabilities of the built environment to hurricane-related hazards …

Communities around the world are increasingly interested in nature-based solutions to the
mitigation of coastal risks by coastal forests, but it remains unclear how much protective …

Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) are promoted as alternatives to structural flood
protection measures. Progress has been made in understanding the physics and …

As a countermeasure against tsunami inundation, the present study conducted a series of
laboratory experiments using a compound mitigation system in which a seaward …

During an extreme tsunami event, forests along the shoreline are destroyed and produce
numerous pieces of debris that cause further destruction of inland structures. However, if that …

Abstract In the Great East Japan Tsunami, many coastal embankments collapsed due to
excessive local scouring at the embankment toe. Thus, as a countermeasure against local …

Overland flow from inundation events (IEs) such as hurricanes or tsunamis produce
destructive loading conditions on nearshore structures. The magnitude of this loading and its …

Biomimicry is introduced as an approach to develop an ecologically-informed design
solution. The study proposes a regenerative design solution through hydrodynamic effects of …

Communities worldwide are increasingly interested in nature-based solutions like coastal
forests for the mitigation of coastal risks. Still, it remains unclear how much protective benefit …

The increase in human population leads to the exploration and migration to urban and
coastal zones, encouraging the changes in mitigating strategies for coastal protection …
