	year = {2013},
	note = {{\textquotedblleft}The first part of this study examines the tsunami loads on five California and three Oregon coastal bridges.  . . .  The second part of this study examines the influence of trapped air on resultant wave forces under different wave conditions for a variety of bridge geometries. . . .  Numerical results indicate that the uplift wave forces acting on the bridge superstructures can be reduced by about 56\% on the average using air vents.{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)  The author discusses three bridges In the Siletz Bay area and makes recommendations for bridge design.},
