and hence are evaluated empirically. Here, we focus on the impulsive forces due to bore impact. The impact of translatory waves, such as bores, on vertical structures often results in a “splash-up” phenomenon during the impulsive phase (see Fig. 1). The objective of this study is to ...
This paper presents a series of physical experiments to investigate the effectiveness of barriers in reducing tsunami bore impact (and associated pressures) on a vertical wall. While horizontal forces and overturning moments on the wall can be significantly reduced if the barrier is high enough, low...
•The flow motion and pressure variation were observed during tsunami bore hitting the wharf model.•The effect of the bore height, deck height and the wharf slope angle on pressures were investigated.•The equations for predicting the uplift pressures were proposed, and the predict values ...

The paper presents the results of a series of experiments which were carried out in order to quantify the forces and pressures exerted on structures due to the impact of a tsunami-induced hydraulic bore. The final purpose of this ongoing multi-disciplinary research effort is geared towards ...

especially considering the smallest waves and water depths, could influence the applicability of these predictors and translation of the results to the field scale. Our results demonstrate the importance of debris-flow composition on tsunami generation and evolution, and thus the necessity of including ...
