Riprap Stability Versus Monochromatic and Irregular Waves

A three-phase study of riprap stabi1ity was conducted at the u.s. Army Coastal Engineering Research Center. Phase One was large-scale tests of riprap stability using monochromatic waves (Ahrens, 1975). Phase Two was small-scale tests of riprap stability that replicated the Phase One, large-scale tests at a 1:10 Froude scale (Broderick and Ahrens...

Structural damage by tsunamis

This paper presents a brief discussion of structural damage by tsunamis based primarily on damage produced by recent tsunamis along the northern California coast. Of these recent tsunamis, by far the most damaging was the one of March 1964; which caused approximately $11,000,000 damage at Crescent City, about $300,000 damage at other coastal...
