| Notes | “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.” (from the Abstract) The author discusses three bridges In the Siletz Bay area and makes recommendations for bridge design. |
