ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF REINFORCED EARTH WALL FOR SHORE PROTECTION SYSTEM AGAINST TSUNAMI
The evaluation and design of coastal shore protection works for tsunamis assumed considerable importance following the impact of the 26th December 2004 tsunami in India and other countries of Asia. The lack of proper guidelines made matters worse and resulted in the great damage that occurred. Subse...
