Modeling Tsunami-Induced Erosion of Bridge-Abutment Backfill

Modeling Tsunami-Induced Erosion of Bridge-Abutment Backfill

Tsunamis can seriously damage bridges in coastal areas. Studies of such damage have elucidated the action of tsunami-induced forces on girders. However, tsunami-induced erosion of bridge-abutment backfill has been largely neglected. This article investigates this little-studied topic using hydraulic...
