  • Developing a Resilience Index for the Pile-Supported Piers of the Port of Batangas under Tsunami Load

    Jon Arnel S. Telan, Lessandro Estelito O. Garciano, Mario P. De Leon, Tomoya Shibayama

    Natural Hazards Review   24 ( 2 )  2023.05  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) transport system, which plays a huge role in the transportation and economy of the Philippines, mainly uses piers to provide smooth berthing of ships. However, its structural configuration attracts different hazards causing damage, particularly to piles. Tsunamis produce devastating wave forces. This may heavily result in discontinuity of the whole port operation as there will be no available berthing structure for ships. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the structural resilience of the pile-supported piers of the Port of Batangas against tsunami loads at different variations of wave height and water depth. Structural software was used to model the piers and incorporate calculated tsunami drag forces. Furthermore, pushover analysis was performed to produce the base shear versus displacement curves needed for the calculation of the robustness index. The rapidity index, on one hand, is based on an interview with the Philippine Ports Authority - Port Management Office (PPA-PMO) of Batangas resulting in recovery rates for demolition works and pile replacement. Combining these indices using the concept of resilience triangle, values of the resilience index ranging from 0.0 to 1.0 were calculated at both longitudinal and transverse directions. As a result, the piers were categorized as highly resilient in almost 50% of the tsunami load cases. It proved that the pier with existing batter piles exhibits higher resilience than the other which is only supported by vertical piles.

  • Analysis of the impact of offshore wind power on the Japanese energy grid

    Ying Tung Chen, Kristina Knüpfer, Miguel Esteban, Tomoya Shibayama

    AIMS Energy   11 ( 1 ) 110 - 134  2023  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    As part of its economy-wide decarbonization target towards 2050, Japan plans to increase renewable generation, especially offshore wind, for which the country has a high potential. However, this resource is currently under-developed as available turbines are prone to shut-downs and can even suffer damage during the passage of typhoons. With new typhoon proof (T-class) turbines being currently developed by various companies, Japan now aims to develop 10 GW of offshore wind between 2021 and 2030, and 91 GW in the long-term. This research estimates the impact of integrating offshore wind into the Japanese main power grid using T-class turbines by considering three scenarios. First, a business-as-usual (BAU) case with 10 GW offshore wind capacity (following the 6th Strategic Energy Plan of Japan). Second, an offshore wind capacity of 91 GW. Third, the 91 GW offshore capacity being redistributed amongst regions to maximize its integration opportunities (Scenario 2). The simulations were carried out using the Energy System simulation model (EnSym). The results show that the BAU and Scenario 1 resulted in offshore wind achieving 1.7% and 7.28% of generation share, respectively, increasing to 9.77% for Scenario 2. Increasing the share of offshore wind in the energy mix mainly replaced liquefied natural gas (LNG)

  • A proposal of a semi-empirical method for modifying the atmospheric pressure and wind fields of tropical cyclones

    Takumu Iwamoto, Tomohiro Takagawa, Tomoya Shibayama, Miguel Esteban, Martin Mäll

    Coastal Engineering Journal    2023  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The actions of wind and atmospheric pressure associated with tropical cyclones (e.g. typhoons) are considered the primary factors behind the generation of storm surges, though the fields used in meteorological models can sometimes deviate from observations. To improve these, the direct modification method (DMM) has been previously proposed, though this only modifies the wind field of a typhoon, and further development is necessary for applying it to storm surge hindcasts. The present work describes the development of a semi-empirical gradient wind balance-based method (GWB-M) for modifying both the wind and pressure fields in meteorological models, based on the dynamic relationship between the wind and pressure in typhoons (i.e. gradient wind balance). The applicability of GWB-M was assessed through a storm surge hindcast based on Typhoon Faxai in 2019, which generated powerful waves and a storm surge at Tokyo Bay. GWB-M improved the time series of 10 m wind speed and sea level pressure, with their spatial distributions being more realistic than those in DMM and blending parametric typhoon models (BM), which cannot take into account the influence of the complex topography around Tokyo Bay. Further, the maximum sea level anomalies after the typhoon made landfall were also captured by GWB-M with a higher accuracy than DMM.

  • A reliable energy system for Japan with merit order dispatch, high variable renewable share and no nuclear power

    K. Knuepfer, N. Rogalski, A. Knuepfer, M. Esteban, T. Shibayama

    Applied Energy   328  2022.12  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    In the context of Japanese energy targets for 2030 and the long-term strategy towards zero carbon emissions by 2050, this study estimates the impact of several measures for increasing the renewable generation share while maintaining a reliable energy system. To do so, the authors attempted to reproduce the expected 2030 energy mix according to the 5th Strategic Energy Plan, and then formulated two different alternative scenarios: a European-style merit order dispatch in Scenario 1, and the replacement of nuclear generation with renewables in Scenario 2. The simulations were carried out using the Energy System simulation model (EnSym), which was newly developed by the authors. EnSym simulates the hourly generation of all major resources, including variable renewables, using meteorological data. Spatially, EnSym also simulates the electricity transmission grid of Japan, allowing to understand how changes in grid capacity, dispatch framework and energy policy can impact the overall system. The results show that merely switching to a merit order dispatch could increase the use of renewable generation by 1.5% (to 22.6%). Further, replacing nuclear power resulted in a renewable share of 58.2%, which would include 300 GW of solar PV, 45 GW wind, 36 GW biomass and 23 GW geothermal capacity (while leaving all other generating capacity constant at 2021 levels). Based on these results, the authors also provide recommendations for changes to the next, 6th, Strategic Energy Plan.

  • Experimental and Numerical Modeling of a Tide Embankment Section Subjected to Storm Surge in Tacloban City, Philippines

    Patrick Shaun N. Ngo, Lessandro Estelito O. Garciano, Mario P. De Leon, Neil Stephen A. Lopez, Hidenori Ishii, Kotaro Iimura, Justin Joseph P. Valdez, Tomoya Shibayama

    Natural Hazards Review   23 ( 4 )  2022.11  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Following the devastating Typhoon Haiyan, a project initiated by the Philippine government, known as Road Heightening and Tide Embankment (RHTE), was constructed to protect the coastal communities of the Leyte region in the Philippines against future storm surges. This research focuses on this newly built structure, which was investigated for coastal flooding and wave overtopping against extreme waves. Experimental and numerical modeling were conducted to simulate wave-structure interaction under different water level conditions. A 130 scale representative geometry of the tide embankment was set up inside a wave flume containing a scaled beach profile representing areas beyond the No-Build Zone mandated by the government. Dam-break wave flow was used to generate turbulent bores similar to that of a storm surge. For the numerical model, SolidWorks and ANSYS CFX version 17.1 software were used. The multiphase Volume of Fluid (VOF) method was used to track the free surface of the fluid flow and was shown to be an accurate tool for numerical validation, as the maximum wave height distributions in the presence of the structure using both methods were in close agreement with one another, but the numerical results overestimated the wave heights. The final design of the tide embankment with a return wall was modeled using ANSYS CFX. Experimental and numerical models generated wave heights that were higher than Typhoon Haiyan with inundation heights of 6 to 9 m above mean sea level (MSL) approaching the structure while the inland wave height was approximately 2 to 4 m above MSL. Results of the experiment also showed that the presence of the structure reduced the water level by 1 to 5 cm (about 0.3 to 1.5 m in actual scale). Moreover, the presence of a return wall will reduce the inland inundation height between 0.1 and 0.5 m above MSL.

    COASTAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL   65 ( 1 ) 21 - 38  2022.07  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    6Haiyan in 2013 was one of the most powerful typhoons to have affected the Philippines, devastating in its path a wide portion of Leyte, and causing extensive damage to structures in Tacloban City. To understand the likely impacts that would be exerted by a storm surge on a structure deemed important, the authors used a coupled model that hindcasted the flooding that took place during Haiyan. This coupled model included the use of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model (with Bogussing scheme) to simulate the atmospheric conditions during the passage of Haiyan, the Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM) to simulate the storm surge and obtain the boundary conditions for the wind and flood (hydrostatic, hydrodynamic, and breaking wave), and the Structural Analysis and Designing Program (STAAD.Pro) to calculate the corresponding axial, shear, and bending moment envelopes based on the storm surge simulation. A 4-floor public school building in Tacloban was modeled and the effects that the storm surge would have on a corner column were analyzed. Based on the results, the axial, shear, and moment at the corner column significantly increased when considering flood loads, indicating the importance of including such loads in the design of essential structures.

  • Increase in overtopping rate caused by local gust-winds during the passage of a typhoon

    Naoto Inagaki, Tomoya Shibayama, Tomoyuki Takabatake, Miguel Esteban, Martin Mäll, Thit Oo Kyaw

    Coastal Engineering Journal   64 ( 1 ) 116 - 134  2022  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    A field survey of Fukuura Coast (in Tokyo Bay, Japan) revealed during the passage of Typhoon Faxai in 2019 waves with considerable momentum caused significant wave overtopping, resulting in structural damage to coastal defenses and localized flooding. The hindcasted wave height using a third-generation wave model was not high enough to explain the extent of the local damage at Fukuura Coast, likely due to such methods failing to take into account the strong gust-winds recorded during the passage of the typhoon. To solve such problems the authors developed a new numerical model that takes into account the dynamic interaction of air and water, based on the finite volume method (FVM) and the volume of fluid method (VOF). Although this model still slightly underestimates the measurements in the experiments previously conducted by different authors, it is better than existing methods when estimating the overtopping rates under strong winds. The model was then applied to a real-scale model of Fukuura Coast, where by taking into account strong gust-wind speed of 41 m/s the authors were able to explain the phenomena that took place.

    International Journal of Sustainable Future for Human Security   7 ( 2 ) 3 - 14  2021.11  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Japan is a country that is normally considered to be well protected against storm surges, with the population aware of the potential consequences of such events. However, the inundation caused by typhoon Jebi in 2018 at Osaka Bay has highlighted that there is a significant risk of flooding in many areas. In the present paper the authors conducted questionnaire surveys with the aim to gauge the level of storm surge awareness and intended evacuation behaviour of the population of low-lying areas of Tokyo City. The results indicate that respondents have a high awareness regarding storm surges, but lower actual knowledge about the risk in their area and the evacuation plan. Respondents who have higher risk awareness about storm surges often had participated in evacuation drills, and those who knew about the inundation map tend to indicate that they would perform long-distance evacuation. It was also found that respondents who are in their 30s have lower awareness than other age groups. Keywords: storm surge; awareness; natural hazards; Japan; intended evacuation behaviour

  • A Comparison between Agent-Based and GIS-Based Tsunami Evacuation Simulations: A Case Study for Tofino, BC

    Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering    2021.06  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Soft measures such as evacuation planning are recommended to mitigate the loss of life during tsunamis. Two types of evacuation models are widely used: (1) Agent-based modelling (ABM) defines sets of rules that individual agents in a simulation follow during a simulated evacuation. (2) Geographical information systems (GIS) are more accessible to city planners, but cannot incorporate the dynamic behaviours found in ABMs. The two evacuation modelling methodologies were compared through a case study by assessing the state of evacuation preparedness and investigating potential mitigation options. The two models showed different magnitudes for mortality rates and facility demand but had similar trends. Both models agreed on the best solution to reduce the loss of life for the community. GIS may serve as a useful tool for initial investigation or as a validation tool for ABMs. ABMs are recommended for use when modelling evacuation until GIS methodologies are further developed.

    Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering   147 ( 2 )  2021.03  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The September 28, 2018 earthquake and tsunami, which occurred north of Palu City, Indonesia, attracted widespread interest from the scientific community due to the unusually large tsunami that occurred after a strike-slip earthquake with a relatively small moment magnitude (MW = 7.5). To understand the structural performance of buildings and infrastructure under hydrodynamic loads and their associated effects, the authors conducted field surveys in Palu City. Light wooden frame constructions and masonry infill walls were common in the area, some of which were severely damaged by the earthquake and tsunami. Reinforced concrete structures remained predominantly intact, although they suffered soil-related issues such as scour around rigid building members. Local structural failures caused by the loss of supporting soil were also observed during the field survey, resulting in an overall reduction in the stability of the inspected structures. Based on the observations made, knowledge gaps and research needs concerning coastal and structural scouring are discussed. These are tied into the latest community research activities and put in the context of a published ASCE standard chapter that discusses tsunami design.

  • The mechanism of fluidization in mud beds under progressive waves

    Coastal Engineering Journal   63 ( 1 ) 32 - 51  2021  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Wave-flume laboratory experiments were conducted to study the mechanism of fluidization of partially consolidated mud beds, under wave propagation. The mixture of commercial kaolinite and tap water was allowed to partially consolidate under its self-weight before initiating the progressive wave propagation. The vertical changes in pore water pressure in the mud bed were monitored by using sensitive pore pressure transducers, at three levels across the mud layer depth. The experiments revealed that the wave characteristics and bed properties strongly affect the complex fluidization process, in which the accumulated pore water pressure develops through four transitional stages. The accumulated pore water pressure increases sharply at the first stage, which is followed by further gradual increases in the next two stages, with different rates. The breakup of aggregated mud particles, i.e. the generation of fluid mud, is observed at the last stage, resulting in a partial dissipation of accumulated pore pressure and wave height attenuation. The measurements also revealed that the fluidization starts from the top of the mud layer, and proceeds to the underlying layers.

  • Effect of translate speed of typhoon on wind waves

    Natural Hazards   105 ( 1 ) 841 - 858  2021.01  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Quantitative assessments on the effect of translate speed of typhoons on wind waves were carried out.A WRF-SWAN coupled model that used observed meteorological data was applied to eight different typhoons in the vicinity of Shiono-Misaki, on the pacific side of Honshu Island, Japan. The authors proposed a new methodology to modify the translate speed and wind field of tropical cyclones using an empirical model in which the gross wind speed is expressed as the summation of two different types of wind generation. Two different trends of the relationship between the significant wave height (H ) and translate speed (V) were found, describing the most dominant parameter. Typhoons with a modest intensity and size (for the case of Japan) generally showed a positive correlation between the change in the maximum H and V, which means translation wind speed was the dominant parameter. In contrast, stronger typhoons were less sensitive to the change in V and could maintain high waves even when almost stationary. With reference to the results, it is important to raise awareness of the future problems that could be caused by large storms that stall for prolonged periods of time. s s

  • Experimental and numerical investigation of tsunami behavior around two upright sea dikes with different heights

    Kotaro Iimura, Tomoya Shibayama, Tomoyuki Takabatake, Miguel Esteban

    Coastal Engineering Journal   63 ( 1 ) 1 - 16  2021  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The 2011 Tohoku Tsunami caused severe damage to many coastal defenses along the Japanese coastline, including areas where two adjacent upright sea dikes of different heights met. There are many places along the coastline where structures of different heights and shapes meet due to the various design codes. In this study, the authors aim to examine the tsunami flow around such dikes by conducting three-dimensional hydraulic experiments in a tsunami wave basin and numerical simulations using the fluid dynamics model OpenFOAM. Twelve experimental cases were tested by changing the waveforms, and also by keeping the height of one side of the dike model constant while adjusting the dimensions of the other side. The results show that the difference in height between the structures significantly influences the volume of overtopping over the relatively lower dike and the inundation depth and velocity behind the dikes. Furthermore, different characteristics of inundation patterns are observed between the inundation depth and velocity. Hence, this study illustrates the necessity to re-assess the effectiveness of such structures against tsunami events.

  • Influence of Edge Waves on Tsunami Characteristics along Kujukuri Beach, Japan

    Kentaro Koyano, Tomoyuki Takabatake, Miguel Esteban, Tomoya Shibayama

    Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering   147 ( 1 )  2021.01  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami generated a massive tsunami that devastated Kujukuri Beach in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. The possibility that edge waves were involved in the propagation mechanism of the tsunami was investigated by using a numerical method. To detect the components of edge waves, the fluctuations of the simulated sea level, the variations of the power spectral and the phase, coherences, as well as the dispersed relations of the wavelength and the period, were analyzed. As a result, it was possible to conclude that there is a high probability that edge waves could have propagated around this coastline. In addition, to analyze the various types of edge waves that could be expected three additional earthquake scenarios were considered, each of them with a different magnitude and epicenter: The 1896 Sanriku Earthquake, the 1677 Empo Boso-oki Earthquake, and the 1703 Genroku Kanto Earthquake. This comparison indicates that there is a particular risk that edge waves can be generated by large earthquakes with their epicenter in the northern part of the Japan Trench.

  • Extreme waves induced by cyclone Nargis at Myanmar coast: numerical modeling versus satellite observations

    Thit Oo Kyaw, Miguel Esteban, Martin Mäll, Tomoya Shibayama

    Natural Hazards    2021  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The deltaic coast of Myanmar was severely hit by tropical cyclone Nargis in May 2008. In the present study, a top-down numerical simulation approach using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) and Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN) models was conducted to study the meteorological and offshore wave characteristics of cyclone Nargis near the coast of Myanmar. The WRF simulation results agree well with the observed data from the India Meteorological Department. SWAN simulation results were compared with the WaveWatch 3 model by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and validated against available measurement data from satellites. The model results show relatively good agreement, and hindcast with satellites data (significant wave height only) shows a correlation coefficient value of 0.89. The SWAN and satellite comparisons also show better fit for high wave conditions. The resulted maximum significant wave height of 7.3 m by SWAN is considerably higher in energy than the seasonal waves normally prevalent at Myanmar’s deltaic coast. The possibility of high energy waves due to cyclones should be considered during the design and operation of coastal and offshore projects in the area, particularly given the risks that climate change can intensify cyclones in the future. Since Myanmar lacks a dense network of in-situ observational stations, the methodology used in the current study presents the potential application of various numerical techniques and satellite data to estimate extreme wave conditions near the Myanmar coast.

  • Tropical Cyclones in the Arabian Sea: overview and simulation of winds and storm-induced waves

    Mohsen Soltanpour, Zahra Ranji, Tomoya Shibayama, Sarmad Ghader

    Natural Hazards    2021  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Three recent Tropical Cyclones (TCs) over the Arabian Sea, i.e., the super cyclone Gonu, the low intense cyclone Ashobaa, and cyclone Phet (with an unusual track), are studied using a high-resolution atmosphere-wave model and observations. The reliable performances of both atmospheric and wave models were established using the available field measurements, in which the modeling improvement in comparison with the previous studies is met. The effects of input parameterizations on the wave and wind estimations in the presence of TCs were examined. TCs track and intensity were more sensitive to the microphysics and cumulus schemes. Concerning the multi and single peaked wave spectra, three steps of wave generation, growth, and dissipation were addressed. Bimodal seas and swells exist in both generation and dissipation stages, whereas the seas are dominant in the growth stage. The performance of Westhuysen was better in modeling the combination of seas and swells.

    Coastal Engineering Journal   62 ( 4 ) 582 - 601  2020.12  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    In the present study, three different types of landslide-generated tsunamis (subaerial, partially submerged and submarine) were investigated through laboratory experiments that used 261 different experimental conditions. The results show that, for the near-field region, the subaerial landslide generated a higher leading wave, while the submarine landslide generated a higher second wave. However, frequency dispersion considerably influenced their propagation, with the leading wave decaying and the trailing waves being enhanced. The present study also revealed that the leading wave has higher values for wave celerity, period, and length than the second wave, regardless of landslide type. It was also shown that the celerity of the leading wave and second wave can be approximated by the solitary wave theory and third-order Stokes theory, respectively. Using the extensive experimental dataset obtained, predictive equations to estimate the maximum crest amplitudes generated by partially submerged and submarine landslides were also developed. A comparison with the experiments of previous researchers and field survey data from the 2018 Palu Tsunami indicated that these equations can estimate reasonably well the height of the generated tsunami. It was also shown that the relative mass and initial position of the landslide are influential nondimensional parameters to determine the tsunami amplitudes generated.

  • Numerical Analysis of Seismic Water Level Oscillations in Canals

    Koichiro Ohira, Tomoyuki Takabatake, Miguel Esteban, Rafael Aranguiz, Martin Mäll, Tomoya Shibayama

    Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering   146 ( 6 )  2020.11  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Water level oscillations induced by the ground motion of an earthquake have occasionally been observed in a closed or partially enclosed water system. The generated water disturbances can induce localized flooding, boat collisions, breakage/damage of moored cables due to water disturbances, or even the capsizing of vessels. In this study, the authors focused on cases of seismic water level oscillations in canals and attempted to investigate the potential hazards of and effective countermeasures against them through numerical simulations. The proposed numerical simulation model was first validated by reproducing the water level oscillation that was actually observed at a canal in Mexico City (Xochimilco Canal) during the 2017 Central Mexico Earthquake. The method was then applied to one of the canals in Tokyo (Keihin Canal) to clarify the potential water level fluctuations that can take place due to this phenomenon. The results indicate that while the risks of local inundation would be low, small boats, which can be found in many places in the canal, are at risk of capsizing. Finally, the use of wave-dissipating blocks was found to be an effective countermeasure to decrease the potential for a significant seismic water level oscillation to take place in this canal.

     View Summary

    Volcanic ashfall can cause considerable social impacts to a wide geographical area. Given the challenge to predict volcanic eruptions, it is essential to simulate the dispersion of ash as soon as possible after an event and promptly estimate the distribution of deposits and necessary removal works. In this study, a series of procedures to improve the accuracy of the WRF-FALL3D model for the case of the eruption of Mt. Kusatsu-Shirane in 2018 are proposed, which were verified through field surveys of ash deposits, showing that the accuracy of the model can be improved by selecting a range of column heights and promptly conducting field surveys following an event. Also, a methodology to estimate the amount of work necessary to clear road networks and river channels is proposed, which was applied to a volcanic event similar to that of the Hoei eruption of Mt. Fuji in 1707. The results also emphasize the need to improve the estimation of column heights in the future, which is of paramount importance to ensure the safety and operational continuity of human infrastructure in the vicinity of major active volcanoes.

  • Suspended sand concentration models under breaking waves: Evaluation of new and existing formulations

    Gabriel Lim, Ravindra Jayaratne, Tomoya Shibayama

    Marine Geology   426  2020.08  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    A total of 7 reference concentration (C ) models (6 existing and 1 newly proposed) were validated against 119 test cases from 4 recently published datasets collected under the LIP, CROSSTEX, SandT-Pro and SINBAD experimental studies. These models were evaluated for performance in different cross-shore regions: the shoaling zone, breaking (outer surf) zone and inner surf zone, under regular and irregular breaking wave conditions. In almost all existing C models, substantial under-prediction was found particularly around the wave plunging point (point at which breaking wave plunges and surface generated turbulent kinetic energy, TKE, is injected into the water column) where strong localised increases in C were observed. This strong increase in concentration was attributed to the large-scale breaking-generated turbulent vortices invading the wave bottom boundary layer (WBBL) and entraining dense clouds of sediment near the plunging point. Models that were directly or indirectly driven by local wave climate such as the local wave height (H), breaker height (H ) or local water depth (d), were found to perform quite poorly in the breaking region under regular and irregular plunging breaker waves. Formulations that related C to the sand pickup rate (i.e. depending on exerted bed shear exceeding critical bed shear for entrainment) were adept in regions unaffected by external breaking-induced TKE (e.g. the shoaling zone) but could not account for the high levels of concentration observed at the plunging point. This is because these formulations were based on the implicit assumption that sediment entrainment is only induced by the local TKE generated by bed shear; not taking surface-generated breaking-induced TKE into account. This assumption was addressed in more recent studies, by including breaking-induced TKE into sediment pickup rate or reference concentration formulations. Though latest studies have shown promising relationships between near-bed TKE (k ) and reference concentration/sediment pickup, such formulations also face inherent limitations. These formulations are highly dependent on the accuracy of measured or modelled k and are also sensitive to the magnitude of k . For example, the magnitude of measured k was found to vary by a factor of 1.1–1.3 between regular and irregular wave conditions, with k being smaller under irregular wave conditions. This resulted in varied performance between datasets in k -driven reference concentration formulations. The Froude-scaled TKE produced smaller deviations in magnitude of TKE between datasets, suggesting that it may be a more suitable driving parameter for reference concentration models than k . A new reference concentration model, L19, was empirically derived from an inverse relationship observed between d and C , and from the roller energy dissipation rate. The newly proposed L19 model shows good agreement with measured C (with RMSE ranging between 0.36 and 1.79 kg/m over the different datasets) in regular and irregular wave conditions, even at the plunging point where concentration is highest. The modified concentration profile [C(z)] equation also performs well, generally capturing the vertical concentration profile accurately throughout the whole water column. 0 0 0 b 0 b b b b b b b 0 0 3

  • Simulated effectiveness of a car evacuation from a tsunami

    Tomoyuki Takabatake, Kota Fujisawa, Miguel Esteban, Tomoya Shibayama

    International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction   47  2020.08  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © 2020 Evacuation plays an important role in saving lives during tsunamis. Although evacuation by vehicle is generally not recommended, it could be helpful for vulnerable people who cannot walk fast (e.g. the disabled, elderly, or infants). In the present study, the authors developed an agent-based tsunami evacuation model that considers the behaviour of both pedestrians and car evacuees, which can be important to formulate effective evacuation plans. The model developed was validated through comparisons with the actual traffic jams observed at Tagajyo City, Japan during the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami. The model was then applied to another coastal city in Japan (Shinguu City) to investigate the effectiveness of an evacuation plan that considers vehicle use for evacuation during a future Nankai-Tonankai Earthquake Tsunami. The simulated results indicate that considering the capacity of evacuation places and the choice of route is important for a successful evacuation, especially for a coastal area where the number of evacuees could exceed the total capacity of its evacuation buildings.

  • Comparative Analysis of Triggers for Evacuation during Recent Tsunami Events

    Takahito Mikami, Tomoya Shibayama, Miguel Esteban, Rafael Aránguiz

    Natural Hazards Review   21 ( 3 )  2020.08  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © 2020 American Society of Civil Engineers. In the case of a near-field tsunami event, coastal residents must quickly become aware of the potential danger of a tsunami taking place and start taking actions to evacuate. The present paper aims to show which types of evacuation triggers worked amongst coastal residents with different characteristics and backgrounds by conducting a comparative analysis of four recent near-field tsunami events. The results of the analysis showed that basic knowledge about tsunamis had been spreading throughout the areas studied, which triggered many people to evacuate soon after feeling ground motion, almost regardless of how frequently each area had experienced tsunami events in the past. Educational activities and community-based efforts appear to be some of the reasons that can explain this finding. However, because some people in areas with fewer past experiences only evacuated after noticing last-minute signs and there is a nonnegligible number of visitors present in the coastline of certain communities, continuous efforts toward developing tsunami awareness are still needed. The results of the analysis also showed that in areas with fewer past experiences, people were more likely to wait for messages from the authorities to decide to evacuate. This finding highlights the importance of teaching local residents and visitors how a tsunami can reach a given area in a relatively short period of time.

  • Effectiveness of hard and soft tsunami countermeasures on loss of life under different population scenarios

    Tomoyuki Takabatake, Miguel Esteban, Ioan Nistor, Tomoya Shibayama, Shinsaku Nishizaki

    International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction   45  2020.05  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © 2020 Elsevier Ltd The present study proposes a comprehensive investigation of the tsunami-evacuation plans for a popular coastal area considered to be at high risk for tsunami attack. If a coastal region constitutes a renowned sightseeing location or has a popular beach, numerous tourists and beach users could be at risk of a tsunami. However, tsunami risk management strategies have generally been developed considering only local residents, and the effects of the presence of tourist on the effectiveness of countermeasures have rarely been taken into account. To investigate changes in the effectiveness of tsunami countermeasures under different population scenarios, the authors further developed an existing agent-based tsunami evacuation simulation model. Through the application of this model to Yuigahama Beach in Kamakura City, Japan, it was found that the effectiveness of hard measures (i.e., elevating the road embankment) is slightly influenced by the numbers and types of evacuees who are present on or near the beach when a tsunami arrives. However, the effectiveness was greatly influenced by the type of soft measures (i.e., changing the evacuation behaviour) employed. It was also shown that, if there are many evacuees in a coastal area, soft measures merely aiming at early evacuation and guiding evacuees to the closest evacuation place via the shortest route could instead worsen the fatality rate. The present study thus sheds further light on the importance of establishing tsunami mitigation strategies that focus on the tourist population, in order to minimize the number of fatalities that could result from a future event.

  • Tsunami risk hazard in Tokyo Bay: The challenge of future sea level rise

    Ryutaro Nagai, Tomoyuki Takabatake, Miguel Esteban, Hidenori Ishii, Tomoya Shibayama

    International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction   45  2020.05  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © 2020 Sea level rise is one of the major challenges facing humanity in the 21st century, and could compound the risks posed by tsunamis to coastal cities. The authors conducted computer simulations of tsunami inundation and propagation into Tokyo Bay, and analysed the risks that such events pose to the cities of Yokohama and Kawasaki, for different sea level rise scenarios . The results show that unless significant investment in improved coastal defences is made, the area that can potentially be flooded by such events will gradually increase in the course of the 21st century. However, the risk to the life of the inhabitants of these cities will broadly remain unchanged until sea levels become +1.0 m higher than at present. From then, the risk of casualties taking place will rapidly increase, as the depth and velocity of the tsunami wave will substantially rise. Such results provide some indication regarding the long-term planning strategy to manage coastal defences around Tokyo Bay, highlighting the need to eventually reinforce coastal defences and the important contribution of tsunami evacuation to minimize casualties during such events.

    Coastal Engineering   157  2020.04  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © 2019 The accurate modelling of overtopping of coastal defences by tsunami waves is of vital importance for the formulation of disaster management strategies. To improve knowledge of this phenomena the authors conducted experiments on coastal structure overtopping using bores that were generated by a dam-break mechanism. Three types of structures were tested, namely a coastal dyke, a wall, and a wall of infinite height. The results highlight the necessity to consider the energy present in a bore to determine if a structure will be overtopped or not. As a result of these experiments an empirical formula to determine the height of overtopping given the incident bore height and velocity was validated. The study highlights the importance of clearly modelling the velocity and Froude number of a tsunami. Such experiments should be conducted on rough beds, for which a suitable Manning's n seems to be around 0.06 sm-1/3. The study also contrasted the results obtained to those of the ASCE7 method, and concludes that the Manning's n values recommended in ASCE7 are probably too low.

     View Summary

    Typhoon Faxai caused severe damages along the western shore of Tokyo Bay, Japan in September 2019. Retaining a relatively small radius of maximum wind, Faxai passed across the center of Tokyo Bay and caused intensive wind and waves. While the sea level anomaly recorded at several tide gauge stations along Tokyo Bay were at most 1 m, and no significant surge-induced inundation was found, locally concentrated damages and wave-induced hazards were observed around Yokohama, on the middle-western shore of Tokyo Bay. The observed inundation height around Yokohama was TP (Tokyo Peil) 4.2 m on average, and the highest runup, TP 10.8 m, was observed at a small hill directly behind the seawall in Fukuura, Yokohama. The estimated wave overtopping directions at each location varied from the northeast to southeast, and no clear correlation was found between the wave overtopping directions and the extent of observed coastal hazards. Based on these findings and investigations of recorded data such as wind and waves, it was deduced that locally concentrated damages and hazards around the middle western shore of Tokyo Bay may be explained by the unique features of a relatively compact Faxai and the topographical characteristics of Tokyo Bay.

     View Summary

    Tsunamis can cause large damage to breakwaters and other protection structures placed along the coastline. The strong flows generated by such waves can move the armor units of composite breakwaters, leading to large impact forces on the caissons behind them. In the present work laboratory experiments were carried out in a flume to determine the forces that can result from such impacts. Then, an empirical equation that would allow the estimation of these forces was proposed, with the aim of facilitating the construction of returning walls and parapets situated on top of caissons.

     View Summary

    © 2019 Elsevier Ltd On September 28, 2018 significant tsunami waves, which are considered to have been generated by submarine landslides, struck the shorelines of Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. One month after the event, the authors conducted a questionnaire survey of the affected areas (Donggala Regency and Palu City) to collect information on the evacuation behaviour and tsunami awareness of local residents. In the present study, in addition to summarising the overall trend of the survey results using descriptive statistics, a chi-squared test was applied to analyse the significance of the relationship between tsunami awareness and evacuation behaviour and the demographic characteristics of respondents. The analysis of the results demonstrates that although the respondents generally have a high level of tsunami awareness, younger people and Donggala Regency residents have an overall lower understanding of the phenomenon. It was also found that 82.5% of the population evacuated after witnessing others evacuating during the event. As there was no official warning to residents before the arrival of the tsunami, this social trigger played a significant role in prompting evacuation and decreasing the number of casualties. The present study also revealed that many people faced congestion while evacuating (especially in Palu City). This highlights the need to introduce additional tsunami disaster mitigation strategies to ensure that all residents can swiftly evacuate during such incidents.

    Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Asian and Pacific Coasts, APAC 2013     444 - 449  2020

     View Summary

    Since 2004, there is a growing awareness of the risks that tsunamis pose to coastal communities globally. Despite the fact that these events were already an intrinsic part of the culture of some countries such as Chile and Japan, many other places had virtually not heard about such phenomenon before 2004. Nevertheless, the frequent reoccurrence of major tsunamis in recent years has led to the emergence of a “tsunami culture” in many areas of the world, which has resulted in increased awareness, disaster preparedness and willingness of local populations to evacuate when the threat of these events arises. However, evacuation during a tsunami is still not successfully carried out by the different elements of society, pointing to lack of awareness, an over-reliance in defence mechanisms or lacking in the transmitting of knowledge from previous events. This paper will explore these cultural issues using as a basis questionnaires carried out by the authors during their own field visits to the last three major events (Chile in 2009, Indonesia in 2010 and Japan in 2011), and interpret these through the willingness of coastal communities to build protection measures along the shore and the impact that these can have on sustainable development. The existence of a “traditional tsunami culture” will be explored through an analysis of the existence of multi-layer safety system constructed by previous generations, and whether this is being preserved nowadays or past lessons are being forgotten.

     View Summary

    © APAC 2013.All rights reserved. On March 11, 2011, a large earthquake that occurred offshore the northeast coast of Japan generated a large tsunami which devastated extensive areas of the Tohoku coastline and large casualties were recorded. Based on the experiences, coastal protection works in Japan are now in the process of modifications. In the present paper, Tokyo and Kanagawa are taken as examples and new methodologies are explained in the area. For the case of storm surge, a new model is applied to predict the future behavior of storm surge. For the case of tsunami, Genroku Kanto Earthquake (1703), Keicho Earthquake (1605) and Meiou Tokai Earthquake (1498) were mainly discussed in the numerical analysis, since tsunamis caused by these three earthquakes gave strong damages to coastal area of Kamakura, and left influences to Yokohama and Tokyo. New tsunami flood maps over coastal land area based on numerical simulations were presented to the residents of coastal region on April 2012 in Kanagawa prefecture. For Kamakura area, Keicho Earthqueke takes 90 minutes to reach the Kamakura coast and the height is over 12 m. But for the case of Genroku Kanto earthquake it takes 25 minutes and the height is 8 m. It appears that there are two different types of risk, 1) high wave comes but we have time for evacuation and 2) relatively small wave comes quickly and time is limited for evacuation. New countermeasures including soft and hard techniques are also required.

     View Summary

    <p> Water–level fluctuations resembling long period waves, which differ from normal wind waves, were observed immediately after the Tohoku earthquake of 2011 in multiple locations, such as lakes in Yamanashi Prefecture, the fjords of Norway, and other sites located far away from the epicenter. Not many research on similar abnormal water–level fluctuations have been conducted thus far and, in many cases, these studies have treated the phenomena as seiches. However, researchers have not established concrete wave generation mechanisms and evaluation methods, and their awareness of this phenomenon and disaster prevention remains low. In this study, the authors sought to select a quantitative impact assessment method and learn more about this phenomenon. The authors used previous research and eyewitness accounts to judge that onsite slosh dynamics caused the waves to generate, and the authors attempted to recreate this phenomenon using a 3-D slosh dynamic analysis. After comparing laboratory results to verify the validity of the analysis, the authors recreated past examples of waves and also made future predictions. As a result, the authors were able to recreate abnormal water–level fluctuations based on this method. In addition, the authors identified water damage risks to in-land lakes and waterways of inner parts of bays. These are different from risks posed by tsunamis. The waves are formed immediately after the onset of an earthquake.</p>

     View Summary

    On the 22nd of December 2018 the shorelines of Sunda Strait, Indonesia, were hit by tsunami waves generated by the flank collapse of the Anak Krakatau volcano. The authors conducted a field survey of the affected areas in both Sumatra and Java islands to collect information on tsunami inundation and run-up heights, damage patterns at each coastal community, and the evacuation behaviour and tsunami awareness of the affected people. The survey results showed that in Sumatra island inundation heights of more than 4 m were measured along the coastline that was situated to the north-north-east of Anak Krakatau, while less than 4 m were measured along the north-western direction. Inundation heights of over 10 m were measured at Cipenyu Beach (Pandeglang Regency) in Java island (south-south-eastern direction from Anak Krakatau). A questionnaire survey conducted by the authors revealed residents' perception of danger and evacuation patterns during the event. The results indicate the importance of having an operational tsunami warning system in Sunda Strait and the establishment of an appropriate evacuation plan so that residents can start evacuation immediately and reach a safe place without facing severe congestion along evacuation routes.

  • Street-scale storm surge load impact assessment using fine-resolution numerical modelling: a case study from Nemuro, Japan

    Ryota Nakamura, Martin Mäll, Tomoya Shibayama

    Natural Hazards   99   391 - 422  2019.10  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © 2019, Springer Nature B.V. Due to gradual sea level rise and changes in the climate system, coastal vulnerability to storm surge hazards is expected to increase in some areas. Studies regarding the effect of storm surge inundation on buildings and human lives, especially when it comes to relatively low-threat level events, have been few, however. In this research, storm surge load impact around coastal residential areas was quantitatively assessed, through fine-resolution numerical modelling. Meso- and street-scale simulation results for a storm surge event in Nemuro, Japan, were comprehensively validated against observations and field measurements, and the simulation results showed good accuracy for sea level, significant wave height and inundation area. A fine-resolution, street-scale coastal flood simulation was carried out with individual and grouped buildings, created with a building block model, and the results showed the significant role of buildings by realistically capturing inundation dynamics. Hydrodynamic results showed that coastal flood impact on buildings was insignificant (consistent with surveys). Lastly, the potential flood impact on people in the streets was investigated, using five human instability equations, where the most pessimistic results showed average values between 0.0 and 0.2 (max 0.6–0.7), and slightly below 0.4 for children and the elderly, respectively. These values indicated that threat levels during the Nemuro storm event were low, which corresponded with observations (no fatalities). This study framework could be applied wherever an accurate local storm surge threat estimate was required.

    Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Asian and Pacific Coasts     503 - 508  2019.09  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The Seisho coastline, in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, has historically suffered the consequences of the many typhoons that traverse the area. In 2018, this part of the country was damaged by Typhoon Jongdari, which was a very rare typhoon that moved from the east to the west of the Japanese main island of Honshu. The goal of this study is to attempt to reproduce the beach changes that took place along the Seisho coast during the passage of this typhoon by means of a numerical simulation. First, the authors simulated the wavefield by using the SWAN model, with the maximum simulated significant wave height (5.25 m at 21:10 on 28th July) being in good agreement with observed values (5.14 m). Mean wave period and wave direction also showed close agreement with observed records. The XBeach model was then used to simulate the hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes on Seisho coast, which indicated significant cross-shore sediment transport near the shoreline, resulting in shoreline erosion. This matched bathymetric surveys that were carried out by the government some months after the event.

    NATURAL HAZARDS   98 ( 1 ) 267 - 291  2019.08  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    In the present study, numerical simulations were conducted to estimate the spatio-temporal characteristics of tsunami inundation for municipalities on Vancouver Island, Canada, as a result of various potential Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake deterministic scenarios. By varying the earthquake magnitude and associated slip distance, the influence of these parameters on the tsunami wave propagation, inundation, and the possible damage on infrastructure and buildings was investigated. A numerical tsunami inundation model based on nonlinear shallow water equations was constructed using publically available bathymetric and topographic data and applied to three study areas: the City of Port Alberni, the District of Ucluelet, and the District of Tofino. The numerical results obtained in this study show that the maximum tsunami inundation depth and spatial extent of inundation are sensitive to the earthquake magnitude, whereas the tsunami arrival time is not. For the worst-case earthquake scenario investigated (M-W 9.3), all of the three study areas were extensively inundated. Results of tsunami wave amplitude and overland inundation depth, flow velocity, hydrodynamic force, and depth-velocity product are analysed in detail to assess the impacts of the tsunami on inland buildings. The potential damage was estimated with previously proposed fragility curves for wood, reinforced concrete, and steel frame buildings. In conjunction with a site reconnaissance visit by the authors for better understanding the general characteristics of these areas, model results suggest that significant damage to buildings would occur, especially to wooden constructions, with considerable risk of loss of human life.

     View Summary

    On September 28, 2018, a large earthquake and its accompanying tsunami waves caused severe damage to the coastal area of Palu Bay, in the central western part of Sulawesi Island, Indonesia. To clarify the distribution of tsunami inundation and run-up heights, and damage to coastal communities due to the tsunami, the authors conducted a field survey 1 month after the event. In the inner part of Palu Bay tsunami inundation and run-up heights of more than 4 m were measured at many locations, and severe damage by the tsunami to coastal low-lying settlements was observed. In the areas to the north of the bay and around its entrance the tsunami inundation and run-up heights were lower than in the inner part of the bay. The tsunami inundation distance depended on the topographical features of coastal areas. The southern shore of the bay experienced a longer inundation distance than other shores, though generally severe damage to houses was limited to within around 200 m from the shoreline. The main lessons that can be learnt from the present event are also discussed.

     View Summary

    © 2019 Japan Society of Civil Engineers. Typhoon Jebi in 2018 caused severe damage along areas of Osaka Bay, Japan. After the storm, a Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE) coastal survey group surveyed the coastal impacts and recorded watermarks inside Osaka Bay and along the Pacific. The maximum storm tide recorded by a tide gauge was 3.29 m at the Osaka Tide Station, which is a historical high for Osaka Bay. Coastal flooding consisted of both storm surge and wave run-up in almost all locations, with flooding exceeding 5 m and 12 m in elevation from mean sea level in the inner parts of Osaka Bay and along the Pacific coast, respectively. Coastal damage was severe in areas located outside of coastal barriers, such as ports and harbors, while residential areas were mainly well protected and spared due to coastal protection systems. In addition, some inland flooding occurred in the Kobe-Ashiya regions due to the storm surge propagating up several small rivers. This survey report summarizes the findings of the post-event survey by JSCE and analyzes the relation between maximum water level and resulting damage.

  • A semi-empirical formula for calculating the breaking depth of plunging waves

    Wenang Xie, Tomoya Shibayama, Miguel Esteban

    Coastal Engineering Journal   61   199 - 209  2019.04  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © 2019 Japan Society of Civil Engineers. A new semi-empirical formula for calculating the breaking depth of plunging breakers is proposed in this study. The shallow water equation is used as the governing equation, and the wave front slope, which is one of the key parameters that governs the breaking criterion, is obtained from it analytically. The analytical formula was then modified based on both physical considerations and historical laboratory data. The accuracy of the resulting semi-empirical formula was examined using two sets of new laboratory data - including laboratory experiments performed by the authors - in order to verify its applicability. The results indicate that the proposed new formula is more accurate than existing formulas.

    OCEAN & COASTAL MANAGEMENT   168   35 - 40  2019.02  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    In the past two decades there have been fears that many low-lying atoll islands around the world could disappear as a consequence of climate change and sea level rise, leading to mass migration and threatening the existence of several island nations. Here we show how sea level rise does not inevitably lead to coastal areas becoming uninhabitable, and that humans have an innate and often underestimated capacity to adapt to changes in their environment. To do so we showcase three instances of human- and earthquake-induced land subsidence that have taken place in the 21st century, where the coastal/island areas are still inhabited despite the challenge of living with higher water levels: the Tohoku coastline following the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami (subsidence similar to 0.4-1.0 m), the present day situation of coastal areas in Jakarta due to ground water extraction (> 5.0 m), and the islands of Tubigon, Bohol in central Philippines after the 2013 Bohol Earthquake (similar to 1.0 m). Humans are able to adapt and arrive at solutions even when confronted with cases of rapid rises in water levels, and thus it is likely that in the future vulnerable coastlines will be engineered and largely remain at present day locations, particularly in densely populated areas. If anything, around densely populated areas it is more likely that humans will continue to encroach on the sea rather than the reverse. We caution, however, that small islands are not homogeneous, and many are unlikely to respond to rising sea levels in the manner that atolls do (in fact, many might just resort to build at higher elevations). Where engineering and other adaptation responses become necessary, the financial and human resource requirements may well be beyond capacity of some small islands, which could lead to impoverishment and associated challenges in many communities.

    © 2020, Canadian Science Publishing. All rights reserved. A field survey team went to Palu City, Indonesia in the aftermath of the September 28th, 2018 earthquake and tsunami to investigate its effects on local infrastructure and buildings. The study focused on the coast of Palu Bay, where a tsunami wave between approximately 2 and 7 m high impacted the local community as a result of several complex tsunami source mechanisms. The following study outlines the results, focused on loading caused by debris entrained within the inundating flow. Damage to timber buildings along the coast was widespread, though reinforced concrete structures for the most part survived, providing valuable insights into the type of debris loads and their effects on structures. The results of this survey are placed within the context of Canadian tsunami engineering challenges and are compared to the recently-released ASCE 7 Chapter 6 – Tsunami Loads and Effects, detailing potential research gaps and needs.

    COASTAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL   61 ( 2 ) 241 - 255  2019  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Debris loading has been identified during several forensic engineering field surveys in the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Tohoku Japan tsunamis as a critical design load. However, little research has addressed the assessment of debris loading hazards. The study presented herein examines the entrainment and transport of debris over a 1:10 sloped bed as well as over a flat, horizontal bed in tsunami-like conditions. The study was performed at a 1:50 scale and the debris was modelled as scaled-down shipping containers. The friction between the debris and the bed was varied by modifying the material installed on the slope as well as by covering the surface of the debris surface with materials with different degrees of friction. The debris-bed friction influenced the characteristics of the initial entrainment of the debris, which varied from sliding to rolling, depending on the magnitude of the static friction. This study also determined that the friction did not have a significant effect on the lateral spreading of the debris. However, a significant difference was observed in the case of the longitudinal displacement of debris (in the flow direction).

     View Summary

    Typhoon Jebi struck Japan on the 4 September 2018, damaging and inundating many coastal areas along Osaka Bay due to the high winds, a storm surge, and wind driven waves. In order to understand the various damage mechanisms, the authors conducted a field survey two days after the typhoon made landfall, measuring inundation heights and depths at several locations in Hyogo Prefecture. The survey results showed that 0.18-1.27 m inundation depths were caused by Typhoon Jebi. As parts of the survey, local residents were interviewed about the flooding, and a questionnaire survey regarding awareness of typhoons and storm surges, and their response to the typhoon was distributed. The authors also mapped the location of some of the containers that were displaced by the storm surge, aiming to provide information to validate future simulation models of container displacement. Finally, some interesting characteristics of the storm surge are summarized, such as possible overtopping at what had initially been thought to be a low risk area (Suzukaze town), and lessons learnt in terms of disaster risk management are discussed.

    Applied Ocean Research   78   267 - 280  2018.09  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © 2018 Elsevier Ltd The upper fluid mud layer in muddy environments absorbs wave energy and, in turn, moves due to the wave action. In addition to these two major phenomena of wave-mud interaction, introduction of current in the wave field also changes the wave characteristics as well as the rates of mud mass transport. The present study offers an experimental investigation of wave-current-mud interaction to address the wave transformation and mud mass transport on a horizontal bed. A number of laboratory tests were conducted to measure the mud particle velocities as well as wave attenuation rates under following, opposing, and no current conditions. Both the wave energy dissipation and mud mass transport increase with the presence of opposing currents and decrease when following currents are introduced. A semi-analytical model was also presented and the numerical results are compared with the laboratory experiments, showing acceptable agreements.

     View Summary

    Debris loading during extreme flooding events has been documented by many post-tsunami field surveys of disaster-stricken communities and, as such, it is now considered and accounted for as a critical design consideration in the design of resilient infrastructure. Debris damming is one of the debris loads of concern, occurring when solid objects entrained within the inundating flow accumulate at the face of a structure or structural element. The presence of the debris dam results in increased drag loads on the structure and can have other associated effects, such as flow runup and flow accelerations, that can influence design conditions. The focus of debris damming studies has been within river engineering: therefore, previous studies have been performed in steady-state conditions. The study presented here is the first to examine debris damming in transient, supercritical flow conditions. The study uses a modified dam-break wave as the hydrodynamic forcing condition and the debris are scaled down debris types common in coastal areas (shipping containers, hydro poles, and boards). The analysis includes a qualitative examination of the difference in the debris damming mechanisms as a result of distinct flow conditions associated with a dam-break wave interacting with a surface-piercing obstacle. Additionally, the study determined the influence of the debris dam resulted in a maximum loading condition that occurred earlier and was of greater magnitude than the clear water case.

  • Advanced casualty estimation based on tsunami evacuation intended behavior: case study at Yuigahama Beach, Kamakura, Japan

    NATURAL HAZARDS   92 ( 3 ) 1763 - 1788  2018.07  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Tsunamis are some of the most destructive types of natural hazards that can affect coastal areas. To optimize tsunami mitigation measures, it is important to estimate the potential casualties that can result from one of these events. Taking into account tsunami awareness and the possible evacuation behavior of at-risk individuals is necessary to estimate the number of casualties, though most of the research carried out to date has not considered detailed evacuation behavior when conducting simulations. In the present study, the authors proposed a new approach to estimating the number of tsunami casualties, based on a tsunami evacuation simulation model that considers the evacuation behavior of local residents, tourists and beach users. Such behavior parameters were incorporated by analyzing the results from previous questionnaires surveys. The model was applied to Yuigahama Beach in Kamakura City, Japan, with the aim of assessing potential tsunami casualties and providing suggestions regarding tsunami mitigation measures. The authors conducted seven tsunami inundation simulations for different earthquake scenarios, and then casualties were estimated considering six different evacuation scenarios. Based on the simulation results, it appears particularly important to attempt to improve the intended evacuation behavior of both the local population and visitors. Particularly, providing information about safe places and the routes to reach them is necessary, as prompt evacuation and heading to higher ground were found to be insufficient behavior to save lives during a tsunami event.

    Natural Hazards   93   1 - 22  2018.06  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Awareness about the threats posed by different types of coastal disasters has increased throughout the world, as people are exposed to the nature of these hazards through media reports on events in distant countries. This has resulted in coastal residents being aware about the destructive power of tsunamis, despite no such events having taken place in their country in recent times. Regardless of this increased awareness, it has been hypothesized that there is still need for local governments to enact adequate policies to raise the awareness of local residents, for example, by holding regular evacuation drills. The present research presents a comparative assessment of tsunami awareness in two tourist destinations in Japan and the USA, which was derived through structured questionnaire surveys of beach users in the city of Kamakura and various coastal cities in Florida. The results show how despite relatively high level of awareness tsunamis still pose a considerable risk to each of the communities, for example, due to shortcoming in evacuation knowledge and infrastructure.

     View Summary

    One-month wave simulations were performed from Oct. 1st to Nov. 1st in 2014. The one-way numerical models composed of WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) and SWAN (Simulating WAve Nearshore) were used. This research focused on evaluations of both a resolution of wind data and a difference between structured SWAN (STSWAN) and unstructured SWAN (UNSWAN). The results show some differences among case studies. High resolution wind data affect peak values of significant waves at typhoon periods. In addition, the overestimation of swell caused by typhoons decreased at the nearshore points, in particular at Shimoda by using UNSWAN. As a conclusion, there is little difference between STSWAN and UNSWAN on the overall simulation of wave climate. However, UNSWAN is useful for simulating nearshore waves and has possibility to predict wave climate with higher precision than STSWAN.

  • A semi-empirical formula for wave attenuation over muddy bed under current

    Wenang Xie, Tomoya Shibayama

    Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on APAC 2017     34 - 43  2018.01

     View Summary

    © 2018 World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd. Theoretical and laboratory studies are performed to analyze the wave attenuation phenomenon over fluid mud under current. In the theoretical part, a semi-empirical formula is derived to model the attenuation process under current. Based on the linear wave theory, the change of wave amplitude is related with the averaged damping effect of the muddy bed. By solving a differential equation, the exponential decay of the wave amplitude is confirmed. A function called damping function is used in the formula, and it is expanded into a series of wave parameters and some undetermined coefficients called auxiliary damping factors. Based on the assumption that the mud properties do not change under current, the formula is combined with the dispersion relation for linear wave under uniform current to describe the attenuation process under current. Laboratory experiments are conducted first without current. The data of wave attenuation are collected and inserted to the formula obtained in the theoretical analysis to figure out the values of the auxiliary damping factors. The second set of experiments is conducted under current and the collected data are compared with the calculated values obtained by using the newly proposed formula with the dispersion relation. The result of comparison shows good applicability of the new formula to the wave attenuation under current.

     View Summary

    Following the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, Japanese tsunami protection guidelines stipulate that coastal defences should ensure that settlements are shielded from the coastal inundation that would result from Level 1 tsunami events (with return periods in the order of about 100 years). However, the overtopping mechanism and leeward inundation heights of tsunami bores as they hit coastal structures has received little attention in the past. To ascertain this phenomenon, the authors conducted physical experiments using a dam-break mechanism, which could generate bores that overtopped different types of structures. The results indicate that it is necessary to move away from only considering the tsunami inundation height at the beach, and also consider the bore velocity as it approaches the onshore area. The authors also prepared a simple, conservative method of estimating the inundation height after a structure of a given height, provided that the incident bore velocity and height are known.

     View Summary

    Weather Research and Forecasting atmosphere model and Finite Volume Community Ocean Model were for the first time used under the pseudo-climate simulation approach, to study the parameters of an extreme storm in the Baltic Sea area. We reconstructed the met-ocean conditions during the historical storm Gudrun (which caused a record-high +275 cm surge in Parnu Bay on 9 January 2005) and simulated the future equivalent of Gudrun by modifying the background conditions using monthly mean value differences in sea surface temperature (SST), atmospheric air temperature and relative humidity from MIROC5 in accordance with the IPCC scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 for 2050 and 2100. The simulated storm route and storm surge parameters were in good accordance with the observed ones. Despite expecting the continuation of recently observed intensification of cyclonic activity in winter months, our numerical simulations showed that intensity of the strongest storms and storm surges in the Baltic Sea might not increase by the end of twenty-first century. Unlike tropical cyclones, which derive their energy from the increasing SST, the extratropical cyclones (ETCs) harvest their primary energy from the thermal differences on the sides of the polar front, which may decrease if the Arctic warms up. For climatological generalizations on future ETCs, however, it is necessary to re-calculate a larger number of storms, including those with different tracks and in different thermal conditions.

    &nbsp;In this study, the authors developed a tsunami evacuation simulation model considering both local residents and visitors behavior. Using the simulation model, the effectivenesses of enhancing tenacity of a seawall and cooporations among evacuees are investigated in Yuigahama beach, Kamakura, Japan. It was found that enhancing tenacity of a seawall would decrease mortality rate. However, the effects would become minor when its hight is not sufficient. Guiding visitors to an evacuation place would also be helpful to decrease mortality rate but this may cause heavy congestions on the roads. When making a tsunami evacuation plan in a sightseeing location, it is necessary to consider effects of evacuees' congestions.

    Debris loads during flood events have been well-documented by forensic engineering field surveys of affected communities. Research has primarily focused on debris impact loading and less emphasis has been placed into quantifying the loads and effects associated with debris damming, which occurs when solid objects accumulate at the front of structures. The formation of the debris dam has been shown to results in increased drag forces, backwater rise, and flow accelerations which can influence the stability of the structure. This study examined the formation of a debris dam in steady-state conditions of debris common to flood-prone communities. The study determined that the hydraulic conditions, in particular flow velocity, influenced the formation of the debris dam. Additionally, the study examined the influence of the blockage ratio on the backwater rise as well as the drag coefficient.

     View Summary

    This paper presents a methodology for tsunami risk assessment, which was applied to a case study in Kamakura, Japan. This methodology was developed in order to evaluate the effectiveness of a risk-reducing system against such hazards, also aiming to demonstrate that a risk assessment is possible for these episodic events. The tsunami risk assessment follows these general steps: (1) determination of the probability of flooding, (2) calculation of flood scenarios, (3) assessment of the consequences and (4) integration into a risk number or graph. The probability of flooding was approximated based on the data provided by local institutes, and the flood scenarios were modeled in 1D using the Simulating WAves till SHore model. Results showed that a tsunami in Kamakura can result in thousands of casualties. Interventions such as improvements in evacuation systems, which would directly reduce the number of casualties, would have a large influence in risk reduction. Although this method has its limits and constraints, it illustrates the value it can add to existing tsunami risk management in Japan.

  • Entrainment and Transport Dynamics of Shipping Containers in Extreme Hydrodynamic Conditions

    Jacob Stolle, Ioan Nistor, Nils Goseberg, Takahito Mikami, Tomoya Shibayama

    COASTAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL   59 ( 3 )  2017.09  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    An experimental study was performed to examine multiple debris entrainment and transport in tsunami-like flow conditions. The study was performed in the Tsunami Wave Basin at Waseda University. The wave basin used a falling-head driven elongated solitary wave that broke at the edge of a horizontal apron to generate a tsunami-like surge. The debris, modeled as scaled-down (1:40 length scale) 20-foot standard shipping containers, was placed on the horizontal apron. The debris was tracked using a camera-based object tracking algorithm. The study examined the effect of the debris configuration, the number of debris, and orientation of debris on the entrainment and transport within the inundating surge. In examining the transport of multiple debris, the debris tended to be transported within the surge as an agglomeration. Using a previously derived model of debris transport, the study determined experimentally derived coefficients to explain the difference in debris transport between various configurations.

  • Risk awareness and intended tsunami evacuation behaviour of international tourists in Kamakura City, Japan

    Ricardo San Carlos Arce, Motoharu Onuki, Miguel Esteban, Tomoya Shibayama

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF DISASTER RISK REDUCTION   23   178 - 192  2017.08  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The present study focuses on analysing the state of the tsunami risk communication strategies, awareness and intended evacuation behaviour amongst tourists in Kamakura City, Japan. A mixed methodologies approach was utilized, using key informant interviews, site surveys and questionnaire surveys to understand the risk awareness of this transient group of the population. The results of the survey showed a relatively high risk awareness and willingness to evacuate, though there was some confusion regarding the direction of evacuation, mode of transportation, and location of evacuation areas in the city. A majority of respondents stated that they would expect to be warned of a threat by an official warning or announcement, whereas a minority mentioned social cues as a way to understand what to do, possibly thus requiring changes to the city's risk management strategies. In Japan, the concept of tendenko has been getting more attention since the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, which calls for each individual to immediately initiate evacuation by himself or herself, requiring the trust that other members of the family and community will be doing the same. Based on these findings the authors outlined a number of recommendations to improve disaster risk management for the case of tourists visiting Kamakura city.

  • Simulated tsunami evacuation behavior of local residents and visitors in Kamakura, Japan

    Tomoyuki Takabatake, Tomoya Shibayama, Miguel Esteban, Hidenori Ishii, Go Hamano

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF DISASTER RISK REDUCTION   23   1 - 14  2017.08  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Currently, it is believed that evacuation is the most effective method of protecting lives from tsunamis, in particular after the events of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami. In many coastal areas tsunamis pose a threat not only to local residents, who know the area well, but also to visiting tourists, and thus it is important to consider both these groups when preparing evacuation plans. However, while numerous studies and simulations on tsunami evacuation have been made, research focusing on the influence of visitors on evacuation processes is limited. To clarify this the authors developed an agent-based tsunami evacuation model which considers the different behavior of local residents and visitors, which can estimate the evacuation time, number of individuals reaching each evacuation area, the location of bottlenecks and the number of casualties. The model was applied to study the case of Yuigahama Beach, Kamakura, Japan, with results indicating that the behavior and number of visitors have a significant impact on evacuation processes, especially the location of bottlenecks and the number of casualties. Results also show that heavy congestion will occur during evacuation in places where there are many visitors and thus, in such a situation, the decrease of the moving speed owing to the congestion needs to be appropriately taken into account to simulate the evacuation process. It can be concluded that reducing congestion (i.e., widening roads, guiding visitors to less congested roads) is a crucial countermeasure for a sightseeing location to reduce the casualties that can result from a tsunami.

     View Summary

    This study presents the results of an experimental research program dealing with spatial debris motion on a horizontal apron depicting a typical harbor wharf. Accordingly, scaled-down 6.1-m (20-ft) shipping containers were equipped with a novel yet nonintrusive real-time tracking system and motion sensors. The instrumentation allowed for the spatiotemporal tracking of debris specimens moving across the apron while entrained by an incoming tsunami-like broken bore. The system proved its capabilities and accuracy; this was particularly challenging since this was the first time the system was used in water. The experiments involved using various numbers of shipping containers that were either arranged in one layer or stacked in two layers. In addition, the effect of different numbers of container rows was also investigated to study the influence of the overall container count and placement with respect to their longitudinal displacement and dispersion (spreading) across the apron. Linear relationships were derived for both parameters, suggesting potential guidelines for future design efforts and disaster risk reduction and mitigation.

    JOURNAL OF FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT   10 ( 1 ) 42 - 52  2017.03  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The authors have examined the characteristics of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda), which made landfall on the coast of the Philippines on November 2013, generating a substantial storm surge. In order to better understand the storm surge phenomenon, its nature and severity were analysed by means of a numerical simulation and a field survey. Unlike most other tropical cyclones that weaken before they hit land, Haiyan struck Leyte Island at near peak strength, with maximum sustained wind speeds of 160 knots, the strongest in the recorded history of the Western North Pacific. Haiyan approached very quickly with a forward speed of 41 km/ h towards Leyte, which was also the fastest among typhoons with similar intensities. As a result of these extreme gusts and the exceptionally low central pressure of the typhoon (895 hPa), Haiyan caused the largest storm surge in the recorded history of the Philippines. Numerical simulations show that the maximum storm surges occurred in Leyte Island and Samar Island. A stormsurge field survey conducted by the authors corroborated this, with maximum inundation height of 7 m recorded in Tacloban, located at the northern end of Leyte Gulf. The simulation results also corroborate the fact that water levels at some locations first lowered and then rapidly began to increase after an hour.

    Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B3 (Ocean Engineering)   73 ( 1 ) 56 - 66  2017  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    &nbsp;Water level fluctuations resembling long period tsunami waves, which differ from normal wind waves, were observed immediately after the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 in multiple locations, such as lakes in Yamanashi Prefecture, the fjords of Norway, and other sites located far away from the epicenter. Very little research on similar abnormal water level fluctuations has been conducted thus far and, in many cases, these studies have treated the phenomena as seiches. However, researchers have not established concrete wave development mechanisms and evaluation methods, and their awareness of this phenomenon and disaster prevention remains low. In this study, we sought to select a quantitative impact assessment method and learn more about this phenomenon. We used previous research and eyewitness accounts to judge that onsite slosh dynamics caused the waves to develop, and we attempted to recreate this phenomenon using a 3-D slosh dynamic analysis. After comparing laboratory results to verify the validity of the analysis, we recreated past examples of waves and also made future predictions. As a result, we were able to recreate abnormal water level fluctuations based on this method. In addition, we identified water damage risks to inland lakes and waterways of inner parts of bays. These are different from risks posed by tsunamis. It is forms immediately after the onset of an earthquake.

     View Summary

    On 11 March 2011, an exceptionally large tsunami event was triggered by a massive earthquake offshore, the northeast coast of Japan, which affected coastal infrastructure such as seawalls, coastal dikes and breakwaters in the Tohoku region. Such infrastructure was built to protect against the Level 1 tsunamis that previously hit the region, but not for events as significant as the 2011 Tohoku tsunami, which was categorized as a Level 2 tsunami [Shibayama, T., Esteban, M., Nistor, I., Takagi, H., Thao, N. D., Matsumaru, R., Mikami, T., Aranguiz, R., Jayaratne, R. & Ohira, K. [2013] "Classification of tsunami and evacuation areas," Nat. Hazards 67(2), 365-386]. The failure mechanisms of concrete-armored dikes, breakwaters and seawalls due to Level 2 tsunamis are still not fully understood by researchers and engineers. This paper investigates the failure modes and mechanisms of damaged coastal structures in Miyagi and Fukushima Prefectures, following the authors' post-disaster field surveys carried out between 2011 and 2013. Six significant failure mechanisms were identified for the coastal dikes and seawalls affected by this tsunami: (1) Leeward toe scour failure, (2) Crown armor failure, (3) Leeward slope armor failure, (4) Seaward toe scour and slope armor failure, (5) Overturning failure, and (6) Parapet wall failure, in which leeward toe scour being recognized as the major failure mechanism in most surveyed locations. The authors also propose a simple practical mathematical model for predicting the scour depth at the leeward toe of the coastal dikes, by considering the effects of the tsunami hydrodynamics, the soil properties and the type of structure. The key advantage of this model is that it depends entirely on quantities that are measurable in the field. Furthermore this model was further refined by conducting a series of hydraulic model experiments aimed to understand the governing factors of the leeward toe scour failure. Finally, based on the results obtained, key recommendations are given for the design of resilient coastal defense structures that can survive a level 2 tsunami event.

  • Nonintrusive Spatiotemporal Smart Debris Tracking in Turbulent Flows with Application to Debris-Laden Tsunami Inundation

    JOURNAL OF HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING   142 ( 12 )  2016.12  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Flood disasters such as dam breaks and surges from extreme hurricanes or tsunamis entrain and transport substantial amounts of submerged or floating debris. Understanding of motion and spatiotemporal distribution of debris entrained by a flood is thus of great importance to hydraulic, coastal, and structural engineers; the displacement of debris to a location where it may eventually impact critical infrastructure requires scientific attention at the laboratory scale first. In this context, the design and application of a novel smart debris system utilizing off-the-shelf components is presented and discussed. The system tracks the spatial location and orientation of a multitude of debris specimens and it proposes an accurate tool to assess their individual trajectory, velocity, and momentum in a laboratory environment. Contrary to the traditional camera-based approach of video tracking, which often fails once objects are submerged, the proposed smart debris system delivers six-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) data in a reliable, timely manner. Miniaturized inertial measurement units (IMU), commonly called motion sensors, which are used for attitude heading reference systems are deployed to output time series of spatial orientation along with filtered 3D acceleration readings. A Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) tracking system is applied along with the motion sensor to track the 3D debris positions. A detailed investigation in controlled laboratory conditions reveals the detailed individual performance of the tested spatial orientations and positions. As an application, debris transport tests were conducted in a newly built tsunami wave basin at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan. For this test series, a typical harbor layout with a vertical quay wall adjacent to a horizontal container-stacking platform was constructed. The advection by a broken tsunamilike bore of multiple down-scaled shipping containers in basic arrangements was then tracked from their initial position. The performance of the innovative smart debris system is qualitatively tested in order to provide guidance for their future application in hydraulic and coastal engineering as well as to provide a solid basis for its application in field studies.

  • Experimental analysis of debris motion due the obstruction from fixed obstacles in tsunami-like flow conditions

    N. Goseberg, J. Stolle, I. Nistor, T. Shibayama

    COASTAL ENGINEERING   118   35 - 49  2016.12  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Experimental research was conducted focusing on debris motion over a horizontal apron featuring vertical obstacles in the path of the debris propagation. The apron was designed as a typical representation of a harbor threatened by an inundating tsunami. The experimental setup idealized often complex harbor settings. The debris was a scaled-down 20-foot shipping container modelled at a 1 in 40 Froude length scale. Offand onshore regions were separated by a vertical quay wall which allowed the incoming elongated solitary wave used to represent the first part of a tsunami to steepen, break and propagate over the initially dry surface as a tsunami-like bore. In the path of propagation, a varying number of debris were entrained within the inundating bore over the horizontal apron. The entrained debris interacted with regularly spaced vertical obstacles representing infrastructure and houses within the propagation path. Varying debris and obstacle arrangements were tested to evaluate the effects the obstacles would have on the debris' maximum longitudinal displacement and the spreading angle. The main conclusion is that the spreading angle of the debris is not as significantly altered by the presence of obstacles on the harbor apron whereas the maximum longitudinal displacement of the debris was significantly affected.

     View Summary

    The present work evaluates potential future typhoon and storm surges around the islands of Samar and Leyte in the Philippines taking into account monthly mean sea surface temperatures, atmospheric air temperature, and relative humidity (hereafter, SST, AAT, and RH) from MIROC5 according to four scenarios proposed by IPCC AR5. Super-typhoon Haiyan (2013), which caused catastrophic damage to coastal areas in the Philippines due to its high winds and storm surge, was used as the case study storm given that it was one of the tropical cyclones recorded in modern history. In this study, the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting Model (ARW-WRF) is used to estimate the characteristics of both the present-day Haiyan and a typhoon with a similar return period under the climate condition of the year 2100. The unstructured, Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM) was used to estimate both the present and potential future storm surges. The research has two main focuses. First, both the historical event and its storm surge are simulated and contrasted with field measurements of the storm surge height in order to prove the accuracy of the model. Second, the future typhoon and storm surge are estimated using the monthly mean value differences in SST, AAT, and RH from MIROC5 between 2011-2020 and 2091-2100 for the different scenarios. The characteristics of the simulated typhoon route and storm surge heights agree well with those of the best track data and field measurements. The numerical results of the future typhoon show that, if climate change is considered to only increase SST, its intensity and storm surge will be larger than under the present climate. The minimum sea-level pressure (hereafter, MSLP) of the future typhoon under scenario RCP 8.5 would be about 21 hPa lower and the storm surge 2.7 m higher than in the present climate. However, if SST, AAT, and RH are also taken into account, then the increase in typhoon intensity will not be as marked as if only SST is considered, with the MSLP under RCP 8.5 decreasing only by 13 hPa and the storm surge increasing by 0.7 m. The results of the present research thus suggest that while increases in SST can contribute to the intensification of future typhoons, increases in AAT and RH will somehow moderate this effect. Nevertheless, all scenarios considered point out to stronger typhoons and higher storm surges, clearly highlighting the perils posed by future climate change.

    Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) struck the islands of Leyte and Samar, the central part of the Philippines, on 8 November 2013, bringing large-scale devastation to coastal areas due to the high winds and large storm surge and waves associated with it. In order to obtain the distribution of storm surge heights and damage covering the wide stretch of affected coastline, the authors carried out a series of field surveys in the aftermath of the typhoon (in December 2013, May 2014, and October 2014). In the present paper, the authors detailed the results of these field surveys and summarized the characteristics of the storm surge and main causes of the damage, especially focusing on the Leyte Gulf coast, which is surrounded by the eastern coast of Leyte and the southern coast of Samar. Finally, the wide range of types of storm surge disasters were also discussed by comparing Typhoon Haiyan with other recent major events.

    COASTAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL   58 ( 1 )  2016.03  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Category 5 Typhoon Haiyan was one of the strongest typhoons to hit the Philippines in modern times, and introduced the term "storm surge" to the vocabulary of many local residents, who had not heard about such phenomena prior to this event. The storm surge manifested itself on the 8th November 2013 as Haiyan made landfall, devastating large areas in the islands of Leyte and Samar. To attempt to gain an understanding of the level of awareness that local residents had about storm surges the authors conducted structured questionnaires (n = 172) and focus group interviews with local residents, and discussed the results obtained with key informants (government officers and disaster risk managers). One of the key problems identified during the interviews was how people were not able to clearly understand the concept of a storm surge, with many respondents emphasizing how it would have been better for authorities to describe it as a "tsunami". A discussion is also made on the recent evolution in world-wide coastal disaster awareness, comparing it to recent developments in storm surge awareness in the Philippines and other countries in the area, such as Vietnam and Japan. The authors conclude that, in terms of its influence on worldwide disaster awareness, typhoon Haiyan constitutes an event of similar importance to major recent high-impact tsunami events such as the 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Tohoku events. As a result, the authors will outline a number of lessons learnt from Haiyan, such as the necessity for creating multi-layer safety strategies and improving how information about storm surges is transmitted to local residents.

  • Storm surge and evacuation in urban areas during the peak of a storm

    COASTAL ENGINEERING   108   1 - 9  2016.02  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The present paper examines the impact of floodwater caused by the storm surge brought about by Typhoon Haiyan in 2013, focusing on downtown Tacloban in Leyte Island, the Philippines. A reliable numerical model for predicting such flooding was developed by calibrating the results of field investigations, including footage from a video clip taken during the storm surge. The simulation reveals that flow velocities along the streets in downtown Tacloban reached up to 7 m/s due to flow contraction along the high-density blocks of houses, and how water levels reached their peak in just 10 min. According to the depth-velocity product criteria, often used for evaluating the vulnerability of people and buildings to floodwaters, only 8% of the length of streets in downtown Tacloban were within the safe limits that allow pedestrian evacuation. Based on these findings, the present research concludes that pedestrian evacuation in the middle of a storm surge generated by a strong typhoon is a high-risk behavior. Thus, clearly and objectively, evacuation during this time should not be encouraged, even when seawater intrudes the houses of local residents. In this respect, it would appear imperative that prior to the arrival of the typhoon all residents should evacuate areas at risk of being flooded. Though the flood height was significant in the downtown area, the damage to these houses was limited. If it was not possible for some reason to evacuate prior to the arrival of the typhoon, those in solid houses should first consider vertical evacuation and the possibility that they could survive in their place, rather than courageously evacuating in an unpredictable water flow.

    Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B2 (Coastal Engineering)   72 ( 2 ) I_1495 - I_1500  2016

     View Summary

    &nbsp;The object of this study is to numericall investigate atmospheric and oceanic environments mainly governing the intensity of a typhoon and its storm surge. An individual effect of sea surface temperature (SST), stratospheric and tropospheric air temperature (SAT, TAT), and relative humidity (RH) to intensity of typhoons and storm surges are investigated, via making use of pusedo global warming methodology employing 26 Global Climate Model results of CMIP5's RCP 8.5 scenario. As a result, the change in both SAT and TAT can cause to decrease a typhoon and its storm surge intensity. One of the reasons is that latent heat flux above ocean can be dampeded by high air temperature in lower troposherer. Furthremore, the expected small increments of RH have relatively a little influence on the intensity of typhoon, compared to those of SST, SAT and TAT. As a conclusion, it can be said that future environments composed of both low TAT and high SST have a positive inpact on the high intensity of a typhoon and storm surge.

    Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B2 (Coastal Engineering)   72 ( 2 ) I_433 - I_438  2016  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    &nbsp;The 2011 Tohoku Tsunami caused severe damage in coastal areas. In Kesennuma, oil spilled from oil tanks that was attacked by the tsunami. The present study aims to evaluate the safety of oil tanks against a tsunami and understand the behavior of spilled oil in Tokyo Bay. The results of tsunami numerical simulation with Keicho Earthquake scenario show that the tsunami reaches the oil tanks 95 minutes after the shock. The maximum inundation depth around the tanks is about 2.3 m. The oil tanks suffer damage when the storage rate of the tanks is less than 20 %. The amount of spilled oil is about 5000 kl. To understand the characteristics of oil dispersion and diffusion over the sea surface, the sensitivity of external forces on the behavior of oil is analyzed. The numerical results show that wind direction and wind speed give a significant influence on the oil spilling behavior. On the other hand, the influence of water temperture is small.

  • Estimation of increase in storm surge damage due to climate change and sea level rise in the Greater Tokyo area

    NATURAL HAZARDS   80 ( 1 ) 539 - 565  2016.01  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Sea level rise and an increase in typhoon intensity are two of the expected consequences from future climate change. In the present work, a methodology to change the intensity of tropical cyclones in Japan was developed, which can be used to assess the inundation risk to different areas of the country. As a result, the probability of a storm with an equivalent return period in the year 2100 to that of the worst storm in the 20th century overcoming sea defences around Tokyo Bay could be calculated. The risk of higher storm surges, coupled with different sea-level-rise scenarios, highlights how the dykes around Tokyo or Kawasaki could fail unless adaptation measures against climate change are attempted. The cost of adapting to both of these effects by building higher coastal dykes and raising port areas outside them was quantified. Finally, an estimation of the cost of allowing the areas behind the defences to be flooded was also made, clearly showing that the cost of adaptation measures is clearly lower than the cost of inaction.

  • Spectral analysis of irregular waves in wave-mud and wave-current-mud interactions

    OCEAN DYNAMICS   65 ( 9-10 ) 1305 - 1320  2015.09  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The dissipation of irregular waves passing over muddy beds is investigated through two series of wave flume laboratory experiments with and without currents, where commercial kaolinite is used as the muddy sediment bed material. The changes in spectral characteristics of waves along the muddy bed and the effects of following and opposing currents are investigated. A numerical multi-layered model was also employed to simulate the attenuation of regular/irregular waves assuming viscoelastic rheological behavior for fluid mud, and the outputs were compared with the laboratory data. The first series of the experiments show that propagation of a wave spectrum over a short fluid mud section does not result in a shift in peak frequencies of wave spectra. The comparisons of spectral width parameters of various wave spectra also reveal that higher values of spectral peakedness parameters generally result in higher rates of wave energy dissipation. This can be related to the frequency dependency of wave energy dissipation on the mud layer. The results of the second series of experiments show higher dissipation rates in the opposing current and lower rates in the following current, which can be attributed to the changes in incident wave heights due to existence of currents. The study confirms that the dynamic pressure of wave propagation on the mud surface is the governing factor in regular/irregular wave-current-mud interaction and the current itself has little direct effect on the mud layer.

  • Estimation of Maximum Possible Wave Heights in Surf Zone

    Winyu Rattanapitikon, Khiem Quang Tran, Tomoya Shibayama

    COASTAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL   57 ( 2 )  2015.06  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The breaking-limited (or depth-limited) approach is a traditional method to determine the maximum possible wave height for the design of coastal structures in the surf zone. It is well recognized that the maximum wave height in the surf zone is limited by wave breaking. The maximum possible wave height is usually determined from a breaker height formula. The present study was undertaken to examine the applicability of 14 existing breaker height formulas for computing the maximum possible wave heights. The existing breaker height formulas were examined against measured regular and irregular wave heights. A total of 17 863 data points from 30 sources of published experimental data were used to examine the formulas. The experiments cover a wide range of wave and bottom topography conditions including small-scale, large-scale, and field experiments. It was found that the errors of existing formulas for regular and irregular waves have the same tendency. The existing formulas give considerable underestimation of the maximum possible wave heights in shallow water. The top three formulas were modified by including a new form of relative depth into each formula. Overall, the modified formulas give a considerable better estimation than those of existing formulas.

  • A two-dimensional experimental-numerical approach to investigate wave transformation over muddy beds

    Mohsen Soltanpour, S. Abbas Haghshenas, Tomoya Shibayama

    OCEAN DYNAMICS   65 ( 2 ) 295 - 310  2015.02  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The effect of a thin fluid mud layer on nearshore two-dimensional wave transformation is studied through numerical modeling and wave basin experiments. The wave basin experiments were conducted on both muddy and fixed beds. A mixture of commercial kaolinite and tap water was used as fluid mud layer, where its rheological viscoelastic parameters were derived from rheometer cyclic tests. The results can be utilized for better understanding of the complex wave transformation phenomena under real field conditions where the combined effects of shoaling, refraction, and diffraction as well as wave energy dissipation due to existing mud beds and wave breaking jointly occur. A dissipation model was coupled to the combined refraction and diffraction 1 (REF/DIF 1) wave model to develop a numerical wave height transformation model for muddy beaches. The proposed model was utilized to analyze the experimental data on muddy beds. Comparing the computed values of wave heights over mud layer with the corresponding measurements shows a fair agreement.

     View Summary

    Many coastal dikes in Tohoku area in Japan were damaged due to the 2011 Great Eastern Japan Earthquake Tsunami. The primary failure mode of these dikes was scour failure at the leeward toe by the overflowing tsunami. However, the forces exerted by the tsunami wave against the dikes and scour were reduced to the presence of some obstacles (such as coastal forest) located behind the dike. In order to analyze how tsunamis affected coastal dikes and effect of coastal forest in reducing tsunami force, the authors carried out post-tsunami field surveys and laboratory tests using dikes and different coastal forest models. The critical failure mechanism of dikes was analyzed and co-related to tsunami overflowing pattern. In addition, the experimental results show how coastal forest can help to reduce the damage caused by the tsunami to coastal dikes by increasing water depth and changing the tsunami motion pattern from supercritical flow to subcritical flow. Thus, the placement of coastal forests behind dikes can help to increase their resilience against tsunami attack.

     View Summary

    During the 2011 Tohoku Tsunami, there were eyewitness testimonies that tsunami inundation height was reduced due to Teizan-canal along the coast of Sendai Plain. The present study aims to understand the tsunami reduction effect of a canal by using the field data and the results of a laboratory experiment. The field data obtained from the 2011 event showed that tsunami inundation heights were reduced due to Teizan-canal at some locations. The laboratory experiments were carried out in a tsunami basin with a chamber type tsunami generator. In order to investigate the tsunami reduction effect of a canal, the amount of overflowing water behind a canal model was measured in the experiments. The tsunami height, tsunami length, and the water depth in the canal model were changed to test the sensitivity. The results of the experiment showed that the canal reduced the amount of overflowing water. It was found that the reduction effect with a small water depth in the canal was larger than that with large water depth, and the waveform could affect the reduction effect.

     View Summary

    Akiya coast is located in Miura peninsula, Kanagawa prefecture and is the first coast that is artificially nourished with gravels over sand beach in Japan. Coastal erosion started in early 1970s due to short supply of sand to the coast after completion of coastal road. The sandy coast was eroded gradually after construction of a breakwater of fishery port in 1980s and was rapidly eroded after 2000. Gravel nourishment started from 2006 after three years discussions in the consensus formation meeting consisted with coastal engineers, local residents, fishermen and members of environmental NGOs in the area. The median diameter of gravels is 15mm and the total amount of nourished gravel is 92,600m&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; during six years. Now the coast is stable with gravels distributed in the shoreline. The gravels are continuously transported in longshore direction and additional maintenance works are required after completion of nourishment.

    NATURAL HAZARDS   75 ( 2 ) 1619 - 1647  2015.01  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Storm surges are one of the most important risks to coastal communities around the Bay of Bengal, and it is feared that the threat they pose will increase with climate change in the future. To understand the threats that these events pose, a summary of the field surveys performed in Yangon River Basin after cyclone Nargis in Myanmar in 2008 is presented. Though due to government restrictions survey activities were limited to the area near Yangon city, it was found out that the tide due to the storm surge was probably between 3 and 4 m high and travelled around 50 km upstream of the river mouth of Yangon River. Cyclone Nargis could be accurately reproduced using a numerical model that integrated weather, wave, coastal ocean models, and tide prediction system. The application of such an integrated model is relatively new for storm surge simulation and has never been used for the Bay of Bengal storms. The model was then used to also simulate future cyclones over the Bay of Bengal considering a future climate change scenario.

  • A CROSS-SHORE BEACH PROFILE EVOLUTION MODEL

    Mantripathi Prabath Ravindra Jayaratne, Md Rezaur Rahman, Tomoya Shibayama

    COASTAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL   56 ( 4 )  2014.12  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Developing an accurate and reliable time-averaged beach profile evolution model under storm and nonstorm conditions is a challenging task. Over the last few decades, a number of beach deformation models have been developed under limited experimental conditions and uncertainties, and sometimes they required a long computation time. It is quite evident that a large amount of wave, current, sediment and beach profile data is available today. The present study leads to the development of a simple two-dimensional beach profile evolution model with on-offshore sand bar formation under nonstorm and storm conditions based on the time-averaged suspended sediment concentration models of Jayaratne and Shibayama [Jayaratne, M. P. R. and Shibayama, T. [2007] "Suspended sediment concentration on beaches under three different mechanisms," Coastal Eng. J., JSCE 49( 4), 357-392.] and Jayaratne et al. [Jayaratne, M. P. R., Sritharan, S. and Shibayama, T. [2011] "Examination of the suspended sediment concentration formulae using full-scale rippled bed and sheet flow data,"Coastal Eng. J., JSCE 53(4), 451-489.]. These models were formulated for computing sediment concentration in and outside the surf zone under three different mechanisms: (1) suspension due to turbulent motion over sand ripples, (2) suspension from sheet flow layer and (3) suspension due to turbulent motion under breaking waves. The suspended load is calculated by the product of time-averaged sediment concentration and undertow velocity from edge of the wave boundary layer to wave trough and mass transport velocity from wave trough to crest (bore-like wave region). Sediment transport in wave boundary layer is computed from the modified Watanabe [Watanabe, A. [1982] "Numerical model of nearshore currents and beach deformation model,"Coastal Eng. Jpn., JSCE 25, 147-161.] model. Rattanapitikon and Shibayama [Rattanapitikon, W. and Shibayama, T. [1998] "Energy dissipation model for regular and irregular breaking waves,"Coastal Eng. J., JSCE 40(4), 327-346.] wave model is used to calculate the average rate of energy dissipation due to wave breaking. The beach deformation is calculated from the conservation of sediment mass while the avalanching concept of Larson and Kraus [Larson, M. and Kraus, N. C. [1989] SBEACH: Numerical model for simulating storm induced beach change, Report 1, Technical Report CERC-89-9, US Army Eng. Water. Exp. Station.] is used to re-distribute the sediment mass in neighboring grids for a steady solution. Published field-scale experimental and natural beach profiles from five high-quality data sources from 1983-2009 [Kajima et al., 1983; Kraus and Larson, 1988; Port and Airport Research Institute, Japan, 2005, 2009; Hasan and Takewaka, 2007, 2009; Ruessink et al., 2007] are used to verify the performance of the proposed numerical model. The key feature in this process-based model is that it takes about a couple of minutes to simulate beach profiles of a 2-3 days storm qualitatively at a fairly satisfactory level using a standard personal computer. It is found that the present numerical predictions are not better than the null hypothesis as the model is in a stage of ongoing development.
    Therefore, it is believed that the final model is often of more value to a practical coastal engineer than a very detailed study of hydrodynamics and sediment transport study, however an incorporation of swash dynamics, more precise evaluation of offshore sand bar formation and continuation to a longer time scale with precise beach deformation are recommended as the next stage of the model.

     View Summary

    On October 25, 2010, a large earthquake occurred off the coast of the Mentawai islands in Indonesia, generating a tsunami that caused damage to the coastal area of North Pagai, South Pagai, and Sipora islands. Field surveys were conducted soon after the event by several international survey teams, including the authors'. These surveys clarified the tsunami height distribution, the damage that took place, and residents' awareness of tsunamis in the affected islands. Heights of over 5 m were recorded on the coastal area of the Indian Ocean side of North and South Pagai islands and the south part of Sipora island. In some villages, it was difficult to evacuate immediately after the earthquake because of the lack of routes to higher ground or the presence of rivers. Residents in some villages had taken part in tsunami drills or education; however, not all villages shared awareness of tsunami threats. In the present paper, based on the results of these field surveys, the vulnerability of these islands with regards to future tsunami threats was analyzed. Three important aspects of this tsunami disaster, namely the geographic disadvantage of the islands, the resilience of buildings and other infrastructure, and people's awareness of tsunamis, are discussed in detail, and corresponding tsunami mitigation strategies are explained.

  • Tsunamis from the Arica-Tocopilla source region and their effects on ports of Central Chile

    Rafael Aranguiz, Tomoya Shibayama, Yoshiki Yamazaki

    NATURAL HAZARDS   71 ( 1 ) 175 - 202  2014.03  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The last great earthquake in northern Chile took place in 1877, and the ensuing tsunami affected not only that region but also Central Chile. For example, the Bay of Concepcin, which is located 1,500 km south of the tsunami source, experienced an inundation height of around 3 m. Ports are important in the Chilean economy, due to the fact that a large percentage of Chilean exports (excluding copper) use ports located in Central Chile. With this in mind, the authors investigated the potential effect of an 1877-like tsunami on the main ports of Central Chile. To do this, the dispersive wave model Non-hydrostatic Evolution of Ocean WAVEs was used. In addition, the first tsunami forecast model for Talcahuano, inside the Bay of Concepcin, was developed by means of numerical simulation of several events of different moment magnitudes. The results showed that most of the important ports (Valparaiso, San Antonio, San Vicente and Coronel) had inundation heights on the order of just 1 m, while inundation levels in Talcahuano reached up to 3.5 m. The forecast model for Talcahuano uses only earthquake magnitude, focal depth and tide level to determine tsunami inundation heights. In addition, the tsunami arrival time was computed to be 3 h, and the maximum tsunami amplitude takes place at 4 h and 45 min after the earthquake.

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE JAPANESE CONFERENCE ON COASTAL ENGINEERING   70 ( 2 ) I_1261 - I_1265  2014  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The aims of this study are to examine the reproducibility of new Meteorological-Surge-Tide coupled model and to estimate the effect of global warming to storm surge. In order to examine the model, the case of typhoon Roke (2011) is taken to be an example since the sea level elevation in this case is the highest record in Tokyo Bay during recent 10 years. For the case of typhoon Roke, the tendency of time history of water level is well reproduced though the maximum value is underestimated. The future case of typhoon Roke is also calculated. The sea level at Shibaura is increased for around 20cm and it is also increased around 40cm at Funabashi. These results imply that the coupled model has good performance but there are still some differences of sea level at Tokyo Bay due to the effect of complex geography.

    The catastrophic typhoon "Yolanda" on Nov. 2013 invoked storm surge in the coastal area of the Philippines. The storm surge made the coastal regions to the devastation and maximum water height reached 5m in the Tacloban area. This paper presents the comparison between storm surge simulated results from atmospheric - storm surge- wave- tide coupled model and the observation measured by The 2013 Philippines Storm Surge Joint Survey Group headed up by Prof T. Shibayama. In this study, the TC-Bogus scheme is used in order to simulate accurate typhoon. The simulated storm surge results reached almost 5m in the Tacloban area. The coupled model including TC-Bogus scheme gives accurate simulations for estimating storm surge.

     View Summary

    At 14:46 local time on March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred off the coast of northeast Japan. This earthquake generated a tsunami that struck Japan as well as various locations around the Pacific Ocean. With the participation of about 300 researchers from throughout Japan, joint research groups conducted a tsunami survey along a 2,000 km stretch of the Japanese coast. More than 5,200 locations have been surveyed to date, generating the largest tsunami survey dataset in the world. The inundation height and run-up height were surveyed by laser, GPS, and other instruments, and the tidal correction has been accurately adjusted using a tidal database and a numerical simulation for Tohoku, an area where tide gauges were destroyed by the tsunami. Based on the survey dataset, the regional and local scale analyses were conducted to understand the basic characteristics of this event. Maximum run-up heights greater than 10 m are distributed along 500 km of coast in direct distance. The affected area of this event was several times larger than historically recorded in Tohoku. The mean inundation height in the southern Sanriku region is 1015 m and there are several peaks of inundation along the coast from the northern to middle part of Sanriku. © 2012 World Scientific Publishing Company and Japan Society of Civil Engineers.

  • Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics Numerical Modeling of Structures Impacted by Tsunami Bores

    Philippe St-Germain, Ioan Nistor, Ronald Townsend, Tomoya Shibayama

    JOURNAL OF WATERWAY PORT COASTAL AND OCEAN ENGINEERING   140 ( 1 ) 66 - 81  2014.01  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Recently, major tsunami events have resulted in considerable damage to low-lying coastal developments as well as significant loss of life. This is owing to the fact that coastal communities and associated infrastructure are not able to withstand the extreme hydrodynamic forces induced by the overland progression of large tsunami waves. This paper reports the findings of a study, which is part of an ongoing comprehensive (hydraulic-structural engineering) research program initiated at the University of Ottawa in Canada. The goals of the latter are to contribute to the understanding and quantification of extreme hydrodynamic impacts on structural elements, and to the development of design guidelines for structures located in tsunami-prone areas. In this study, a single-phase three-dimensional (3D) weakly compressible smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (WCSPH) model is used to investigate the hydrodynamic forces, induced by the impact of rapidly advancing tsunami-like hydraulic bores, on a freestanding column of a square cross section. Numerical time histories of the water surface elevation and net base horizontal force acting on the column are compared with the results of large-scale physical experiments, conducted by the authors as part of an experimental component of this research program. The experiments were performed on the basis of analogies between tsunami bores and dam-break waves. The bore-structure interaction is analyzed in detail as the validated numerical model is subsequently applied to additionally investigate the influence of laboratory channel geometry on the results.

     View Summary

    The design of breakwater armor units against tsunami attacks has received little attention in the past because of the comparative low frequency of these events and the rarity of structures designed specifically to withstand them. However, field surveys of recent events, such as the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami and the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004, have shown flaws in the design of protection structures. During these extreme events, many breakwaters suffered partial or catastrophic damage. Although it is to be expected that most normal structures fail because of such high-order events, practicing engineers need to possess tools to design certain important breakwaters that should not fail even during Level 2 events. In the future, research into the design of critical structures that only partially fail (i.e., resilient or tenacious structures) during very extreme Level 2 tsunami events should be a priority
    in this sense, the present paper proposes a formula that allows the estimation of armor unit damage depending on the tsunami wave height. © 2014 American Society of Civil Engineers.

  • EFFECT OF SUBMARINE CANYONS ON TSUNAMI PROPAGATION: A CASE STUDY OF THE BIOBIO CANYON, CHILE

    Rafael Aranguiz, Tomoya Shibayama

    COASTAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL   55 ( 4 )  2013.12  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The 2010 Chile tsunami had different effects along the Chilean coast. Seawater surged hundred meters into many rivers, though field surveys showed that the 2 km wide Biobio River did not experience any flooding. In a similar manner, the coastal zones south of the river had an inundation height of less than 2m. To ascertain why these areas were not greatly affected by the event, the behavior of tsunami waves propagating over a submarine canyon was investigated by means of numerical simulations over a simplified and idealized bathymetry. The main variables which define the size of the canyon were varied, and three different tsunami wave lengths were tested. The results show that submarine canyons have a strong influence on tsunami propagation and run-up such that there is a spatial variation of wave amplitude along the coast and this behavior is very sensitive to the canyon size. The run-up directly behind the canyon is lower than in the case without the canyon, while there are zones of wave amplification at both sides of the canyon. These idealized results compare well with what happened during the 2010 Chile tsunami, and provide a useful insight into the behavior of tsunamis around other submarine canyons in other regions of the world.

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF DISASTER RISK REDUCTION   5   84 - 97  2013.09  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Since the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, there is a growing awareness of the risks that tsunamis pose to coastal communities. Despite the fact that the population of some countries such as Chile and Japan were aware of such events, many other places had virtually not heard about such phenomenon before 2004. Nevertheless, the frequent reoccurrence of major tsunamis in recent years has led to a heightened state of tsunami awareness in many areas of the world, which can be described by an increased knowledge, disaster preparedness and willingness of local populations to evacuate when the threat of these events arises. However, the response of different elements of society to tsunami warnings nowadays still appears to be inadequate a times, pointing to lack of awareness by at least some individuals, an over-reliance in defence mechanisms or lacking in the transmission of knowledge from previous events. This paper will explore these cultural issues using as a basis observations made by the authors during field visits to areas afflicted by the last three major events (Chile, Indonesia, and Japan). The level of tsunami awareness prior to these events will be explored through an analysis on the existence of multiple layers of safety against tsunami developed by previous generations, and whether these had been preserved over time. The potential impact of these major tsunamis in the development of tsunami awareness will be analysed based on questionnaires that indicate the willingness of local coastal communities to invest in disaster preparedness.

  • VERIFICATION AND EXTENSION OF GODA FORMULAS FOR COMPUTING REPRESENTATIVE WAVE HEIGHTS TRANSFORMATION

    Winyu Rattanapitikon, Tomoya Shibayama

    COASTAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL   55 ( 3 )  2013.09  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The present study concentrates on the empirical formulas of Goda [1975, 2009]. The formulas were proposed for computing the transformation of three common representative wave heights (i.e. H-1/3, H-max and H-m0) on plane beaches. The objectives of the present study are to verify the Goda formulas for computing the transformation of H-1/3, H-max and H-m0 on unbarred beaches and to extend the formulas for computing the transformation of H-m, H-rms and H-1/10. Laboratory data from small-scale and large-scale wave flumes with unbarred beach conditions are used to verify the formulas. The verification shows that the formulas give very good predictions of H-1/3 and H-m0, but give fair prediction of H-max. The formulas are rewritten in the form of a general formula. The general form of Goda formulas is recalibrated and extended to compute other representative wave heights (i.e. H-m, H-rms and H-1/10). The general formula gives very good predictions of H-m, H-rms, H-1/3, H-1/10, H-max and H-m0.

    NATURAL HAZARDS   67 ( 2 ) 365 - 386  2013.06  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    On March 11, 2011, a large earthquake that occurred offshore the north-east coast of Japan generated a large tsunami which devastated extensive areas of the Tohoku coastline. Despite Japan being considered a country well prepared for these types of disasters, large casualties were recorded, with numerous discussions amongst the Japanese coastal engineering community ensuing. As a result, two different levels of tsunamis have been proposed and now recognized in Japan, depending on the frequency of such extreme events. The idea that hard measures can protect the lives of inhabitants of coastal areas has been abandoned, and these measures are only considered to be effective in protecting properties against the more frequent but lower magnitude events. Soft measures should always be used to protect against the loss of lives, and to this respect, the authors of the paper propose the introduction of a Classification of Evacuation Areas, to show which of these should be prioritized by residents as they seek to evacuate.

    Since 2004 there is a growing global awareness of the risks that tsunamis pose to coastal communities. Despite the fact that these events were already an intrinsic part of the culture of some countries (such as Chile and Japan), in many other places they had been virtually unheard of before 2004. Nevertheless, the frequent reoccurrence of these events in recent years has led to the emergence of a "tsunami culture" in many areas of the world, which has resulted in increased awareness, disaster preparedness and willingness of local populations to evacuate when the threat of these events arises. This paper will explore these cultural issues using as a basis questionnaires carried out by the authors during their own field visits to the last three major events (in Japan, Chile and Indonesia), and interpret these through the willingness of coastal communities to build protection measures along the shore and the impact that these can have on sustainable development.

  • SEA LEVEL RISE AND THE INCREASE IN RUBBLE MOUND BREAKWATER DAMAGE

    Miguel Esteban, Hiroshi Takagi, Tomoya Shibayama

    COASTAL STRUCTURES 2011, VOL 1 & 2     130 - 140  2013  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Sea level rise could threaten the stability of rubble mound breakwaters in the future, as greater water depth will allow larger waves to reach these structures. Particularly worrying, however, is the prospect of an acceleration in the pace of sea level rise as a result of climate change, especially after 2050. This could lead to a change in the philosophy behind the design of breakwaters and ports, leading to substantial increases in the cost to build and maintain these costly structures. Particularly there would have to be a shift in the main parameter used to calculate breakwater sections from the significant wave height (H-s) to the limiting breaker height (H-b), due to future uncertainties in wave climate. The likely increases in breakwater costs due to this shift in design philosophy were evaluated for 4 different rates of sea level rise showing that for the more extreme cases of sea level rise (for a sea level rise of 1.3m over 50 years) a breakwater designed in 2050 would be between around 8% and 66% more expensive than one designed in the 20th century not taking into account sea level rise.

     View Summary

    Sea level rise and an increase in typhoon intensity are two of the expected consequences from future climate change. In the present work a methodology to change the intensity of tropical cyclones in Japan was developed, which can be used to assess the inundation risk to different areas of the country. An example of how this would affect one of the worst typhoons to hit the Tokyo Bay area in the 20th century was thus developed, highlighting the considerable dangers associated with this event, and how current sea defences could be under danger of failing by the end of the 21st century. The present results show how this level of defences could be inadequate by the end of the 21st century. Possible solutions to this problem involve raising the level of existing defences or increasing the ground level of reclamated area. The cost of possible countermeasures are calculated and are compared with possible economic loss under flooding. The cost is less than 1 % of possible economic loss in Tokyo metropolitan and 6 % in Kanagawa prefecture.

  • MODIFIED HEEL PRESSURE FORMULA TO SIMULATE TILTING OF A COMPOSITE CAISSON BREAKWATER

    Miguel Esteban, Hiroshi Takagi, Tomoya Shibayama

    COASTAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL   54 ( 4 )  2012.12  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Susami West Breakwater, a composite caisson breakwater located in Japan, was damaged by high waves caused by typhoon Tokage on the 20th of October 2004. The failure mode was characterized by the sliding/tilting of the caissons and the removal of the concrete armoring units. The failure of these armor units is believed to increase the pressures exerted by the waves on the caisson, and thus exacerbate the expected deformations in the rubble mound foundation, a fact which has thus far been ignored in previous research. The present paper proposes a methodology to take into account the effect of these concrete armor units to estimate the deformations that took place in the rubble mound foundation. The methodology uses a modification of the method by Goda [1985] proposed by Esteban et al. [2009] that can approximate to the right order of magnitude the vertical deformations at the back of the caisson by using a Monte Carlo simulation.

  • Applicability of suspended sediment concentration formulae to large-scale beach morphological changes

    Ravindra Jayaratne, Yasufumi Takayama, Tomoya Shibayama

    Proceedings of the Coastal Engineering Conference    2012.12

     View Summary

    Study of beach morphological changes under storm conditions and its prediction capability are of paramount importance in coastal zone management. Seabed sediment is picked up violently in and outside the surf zone due to suspension mechanisms, therefore a considerable amount of sand is transported in coastal waters due to such mechanisms. For the construction of an accurate beach morphological model, it is necessary to elucidate the sediment suspension and to introduce it properly into the modelling of sediment transport. Jayaratne and Shibayama (2007) developed a complete set of explicit theoretical formulae to predict the time-averaged concentration on sandy beaches due to three suspension mechanisms: a) vortical motion over wave-generated sand ripples, b) from sheet flow, and c) turbulent motion under breaking waves. The present paper focuses on the development of a quasi-3D beach deformation model using the sediment concentration models of Jayaratne and Shibayama (2007), the bed load model of Watanabe (1982), the wave propagation model of Onaka et al. (1988), the nearshore current model of Philips (1977) and the undertow model of Okayasu et al. (1990) to predict the large-scale morphodynamics of sandy beaches. The predicted beach profiles and total sediment transport rates were compared with two sets of large-scale laboratory experimental data [Kajima et al. (1983); Kraus and Larson (1988)] and Seisho beach at Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It can be concluded that the present numerical model is capable of predicting sediment transport direction, on-offshore sand bar formation and the general trend of the beach profiles of large-scale erosive- and accretive-type sandy beaches to a satisfactory level.

     View Summary

    At 14:46 on March 11, 2011 (local time), a large earthquake of magnitude Mw9.0 took place, generating a tsunami that caused severe damage to the east coast of Japan. To comprehensively record tsunami trace heights and impacts along the coastal region, the Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami Joint Survey Group was organized immediately after the event. As part of this group, the authors conducted a field survey in Miyagi and Fukushima Prefectures. The surveyed area can be divided into 2 parts from the point of view of its geographical features: the northern part (a rias coastal area) and the southern part (a coastal plain area). In this paper, the characteristics of the damage due to the tsunami in each area are analyzed by using both the results of the authors' by using both the results of the authors' own field survey and the Joint Survey Group. In the rias coastal area, inundation heights were more than 10 m, which resulted in the flooding of the low-lying grounds located at the inner part of the bays. The tsunami wave caused widespread destruction in this area, and coastal buildings (including reinforced concrete buildings) suffered severe damage. In the southern coastal plains, inundation heights were 5-10 m and the tsunami reached a few kilometers inland, though unfortunately there were not enough high locations or buildings for the residents to evacuate. In addition, an extensive line of coastal dikes and forests, which had been placed to protect the wide plains behind them, also suffered extensive damage. From these geographically dependent inundation and destruction patterns, a number of important lessons on how to modify and improve future risk management strategies can be obtained.

    PROCEEDINGS OF CIVIL ENGINEERING IN THE OCEAN   68 ( 2 ) I_55 - I_59  2012  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    This work aims to ascertain the wave behavior and possible damage in a lake or a bay caused by the effect of long-period ground motion using the same numerical analysis. The generation of waves which are affected by long-period ground motion is a new concept. In general, when an earthquake occurs in a marine area, tsunami disaster is of special concern as water can damage coastal regions. However, in fact, not only tsunami but also high waves caused by long-period ground motions were generated at Sai Lake in Yamanashi Prefecture about 470km far from the epicenter of the Tohoku earthquake (Mw9.0) and this phenomenon has not received sufficient attention up to now. According to the field survey, there is evidence that waves of up to 1.0m height were generated. These 1.0m height waves were accurately simulated by the numerical model, whose governing equations are the non-linear shallow water equations. Furthermore, this model was applied to Tokyo Bay against the possible future Tokai and Tonankai earthquakes which are forecasted to take place within the next 20 years. As a result, the wave height generated by the long-period ground motion is less than 1m. These waves, although they will not lead to inundation of coastal areas, are irregularly generated and can shake small boats or float bridges, and it is important for people in the area to pay attention to this following the earthquake.

    Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B3 (Ocean Engineering)   68 ( 2 ) I_894 - I_899  2012  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The purpose of this paper is to clarify the risk of storm surge and tsunami in Tokyo port by using three different numerical simulations, a storm surge simulation, a tsunami simulation and an overland inundation simulation. In the storm surge simulation, storm surge behavior in Tokyo port was calculated by considering many typhoon courses. The model typhoon used in the calculation is the Ise bay typhoon(1959), reproduced by using Myers equation. As a result, the maximum storm surge height in Tokyo port and the typhoon course which occurs are clarified. In the tsunami simulation, tsunami behavior in Tokyo bay is calculated under the consideration of three earthquakes. The target earthquakes are Genroku, Miura Peninsula and Kamogawa and Keicho earthquake. Amongst them, the earthquake which induces the highest tsunami in Tokyo port is the Keicho earthquake. In that case, the tsunami height around Tokyo port is about 1.5m. In the simulation, the initial tsunami heights were calculated by using the model of Manshinha and Smylie(1971). Overland inundation is simulated under the impact of the Keicho earthquake. The results show the western Koto Delta, Southern Koto Delta, East Shinagawa and many other areas outside Tokyo port are under the risk of inundation. For the overland inundation simulation, a 5m mesh topography data was used, which enables the display of micro scale inundation. The overall results show that it is necessary to reconsider disaster management plans in Tokyo, as current counter-measures might not be sufficient to protect certain areas against all foreseeable threats.

    COASTAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL   53 ( 4 ) 451 - 489  2011.12  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    A set of theoretical models is deduced for computing suspended sediment concentration in coastal waters under the influence of suspension on the bottom boundary layer due to turbulent motion over full-scale sand ripples and sheet-flow, following on from the work of Jayaratne and Shibayama [2007]. Dimensional analysis and best-fit technique are the main methods for the formulation of reference concentrations and vertical distribution of diffusion coefficients of the models. Model parameters (e.g. calibration coefficients) are calibrated with the help of full-scale measured data. Time-averaged concentration profiles are derived from the steady diffusion equation. Two distinct suspension layers (i.e., lower and upper) were identified within the suspension over rippled bed, therefore predictive models were given separately for each layer. In the case of sheet-flow regime, predictive models were given for suspension and upper-sheet-flow layers. Published experimental data from 4 different data sources in the SANTOSS database (75 and 80 full-scale experiments for rippled bed and sheet-flow regimes respectively) from 1994 to 2007 [Van der Werf et al., 2009] are better explained by the proposed formulae, however different sets of calibration coefficients were assigned in each data set primarily due to the flow type (regular or irregular flows) and nature of the laboratory experiments (wave flume and wave tunnel).

  • ASSESSMENT OF FUTURE STABILITY OF BREAKWATERS UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE

    Hiroshi Takagi, Hidehiro Kashihara, Miguel Esteban, Tomoya Shibayama

    COASTAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL   53 ( 1 ) 21 - 39  2011.03  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Climate change is expected to lead to increases in both sea level and typhoon intensity, which could threaten the stability of break waters in the future. In this study, calculations using the SWAN model showed that a 10% potential increase in the future wind speed of typhoons resulting from the warming of surface sea temperatures can lead to a 21% increase in the significant wave heights generated by these winds. To understand the effect that this would have on break water stability, the expected sliding distances for the break waters at Shibushi Ports in Japan were estimated using a probabilistic design method. The results show that in the future the expected sliding distances may be come five times greater than at present, due to a combination of increases in sea level and wave height.

  • ENERGY DISSIPATION MODEL FOR COMPUTING TRANSFORMATION OF SPECTRAL SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT

    Winyu Rattanapitikon, Tomoya Shibayama

    COASTAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL   52 ( 4 ) 305 - 330  2010.12  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The objective of this study is to propose the most suitable dissipation model for computing the transformation of spectral significant wave height (H-m0). A wide range of experimental conditions, covering small-scale, large-scale, and field experiments, were used to examine the models. Fourteen existing dissipation models, for computing root-mean-square wave heights (H-rms) were applied to compute H-m0. The coefficients of the models were re-calibrated and the accuracy of the models was compared. It appears that the model of Janssen and Battjes [2007] with new coefficients gives the best overall prediction. The simple model proposed in the present paper was modified by changing the formula of stable wave height in the dissipation model. Comparing with the existing models, the modified model is the simplest one but gives better accuracy than those of existing models.

  • The economic impact of future increase in tropical cyclones in Japan

    Christian Webersik, Miguel Esteban, Tomoya Shibayama

    NATURAL HAZARDS   55 ( 2 ) 233 - 250  2010.11  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    This article estimates the non-first-order economic loss in Japan due to a future increase in tropical cyclones. One possible effect of global warming could be the increase in intensity of tropical cyclones. Using historical storm tracks between the years 1978 and 2007 and altering their intensities due to this potential increase in their intensity, this paper calculates the future potential regional GDP loss in a certain area that is affected by tropical cyclones. Most of the literature is concerned with physical damage and the loss of lives due to tropical cyclones. However, there are additional economic costs when sustained wind speeds are higher than 30 knots (55.56 km/h), a level that generally will lead to a precautionary cessation of many human activities. Using a Monte Carlo simulation, the paper calculates the potential economic costs for the year 2085 under a climate change scenario with a linear one-per cent yearly increase in CO2. Using a spatial distribution of economic activity in Japan, it is possible to forecast which parts of the country are likely to experience the highest loss risk.

    CLIMATIC CHANGE   102 ( 3-4 ) 555 - 578  2010.10  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The present paper develops a methodology for estimating the risks and consequences of possible future increases in tropical cyclone intensities that would allow policy makers to relatively quickly evaluate the cost of different mitigation strategies. The methodology simulates future tropical cyclones by modifying the intensity of historical tropical cyclones between the years 1978 and 2007. It then uses a Monte Carlo Simulation to obtain the expected number of hours that a certain area can expect to be affected by winds of a given strength. The methodology outlined has a range of applications, and the present paper shows as an example the calculation of the expected cost of mitigation of the increased downtime for Japanese ports by 2085 for a variety of economic growth scenarios.

  • Effect of a global warming-induced increase in typhoon intensity on urban productivity in Taiwan

    Miguel Esteban, Christian Webersik, Tomoya Shibayama

    SUSTAINABILITY SCIENCE   4 ( 2 ) 151 - 163  2009.10  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    A number of scientists have recently conducted research that shows that tropical cyclone intensity is likely to increase in the future due to the warming effect of greenhouse gases on surface sea temperatures. The aim of this paper is to establish what would be the likely decrease in the productivity of urban workers due to an increase in tropical cyclone-related downtime. The methodology used simulates future tropical cyclones by magnifying the intensity of historical tropical cyclones between the years 1978 and 2008. It then uses a Monte Carlo simulation to obtain the expected number of hours that a certain area can expect to be affected by winds of a given strength. It shows how annual downtime from tropical cyclones could increase from 1.5% nowadays to up to 2.2% by 2085, an increase of almost 50%. This decrease in productivity could result in a loss of up to 0.7% of the annual Taiwanese GDP by 2085.

    Miguel Esteban, Hiroshi Takagi, Tomoya Shibayama

    COASTAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL   51 ( 1 ) 49 - 68  2009.03  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    This paper presents a method to simulate the construction of a caisson breakwater in order to evaluate the risks involved in its construction. A computer model of the construction process that a contractor would follow to build a caisson breakwater was developed, with the wave climate for each month of the duration of works modeled using data obtained from the NOWPHAS Reports. Possible damage to the caisson was determined using a deformation-based reliability design method that included sliding, tilting, overturning of the caisson and erosion of the toe armour and foundation material. The model included possible delays due to adverse weather, reconstruction of damaged sections and construction accidents. By using the Monte Carlo simulation technique, the expected cost and time to finish the breakwater could be obtained, allowing to determine the risk associated with the breakwater construction. Thus, it is possible to determine when would be the most appropriate time to begin construction and the likelihood of encountering problems during the construction phase. A case study of the breakwater construction for Honshu island in Japan is shown, with the results comparing well with the experience of Japanese contractors.

     View Summary

    The present study offers a two-dimensional horizontal wave propagation and morphodynamic model for muddy coasts. The model can be applied on a general three-dimensional bathymetry of a soft muddy coast to calculate wave damping. fluid mud mass transport and resulting bathymetry change under wave actions. The wave propagation model is based on time-dependent mild slope equations including the wave energy dissipation due to the wave-mud interaction of bottom mud layers as well as the combined effects of the wave refraction, diffraction and breaking. The constitutive equations of the visco-elastic-plastic model are adopted for the rheological behavior of fluid mud. The mass transport velocity within the fluid mud layer is calculated combining the Stokes&apos; drift, the mean Eulerian velocity and the gravity-driven mud flow. The results of the numerical model are compared against a series of conducted wave basin experiments, wave flume experiments and field observations. Comparisons between the computed results with both the field and laboratory data reveal the capability of the proposed model to predict the wave transformation and mud mass transport.

    Field surveys were performed in the Yangon River Basin to learn lessons out of severe disasters due to Cyclone Nargis. It was found that the tide due to the storm surge was up to 3-4m around 50 kilometers upstream of the river mouth of Yangon River. According to interviews with the local residents, it also appears that significant flooding took place at inland areas as a result of the upsurge through the tributaries or channels from the main river. Apart from the nvestigation, the tracks for the present and past cyclones (1945-2007) have been analyzed based on a string of best track data. The results reveal that quite a small number of cyclone (roughly 2 times on average every 10years) have hit the southern coast of Myanmar compared to the number of cyclones that hit the coast of Bangladesh, and that the route that Nargis traced is rather unique.

     View Summary

    Total quality management (TQM) has been recognized as a successful management philosophy that can be successfully implemented in the construction industry. By examining the Japanese contractors working in Egypt and comparing their managing systems to the local ones, a comparative analysis of the two contractors working in the Egyptian field is presented in this paper to illustrate how TQM can be implemented effectively in the Egyptian construction industry. Bearing in mind the location bound nature of the production process, the competitive bidding, which emphasizes cost and the absence of the quality culture of the clients, subcontractors and site operatives are some of the constraining factors for implementing the quality policy. Based on the research findings, the paper presents some features of the Japanese construction industry that could be implemented in the Egyptian field in addition to a new model for TQM implementation that appropriates the Egyptian construction industry.

The constitutive equations of visco-elastic-plastic model are adopted for rheological behavior of fluid mud.

It determines the landslide susceptibility of an area using the Certainty Factor Model (CF) and uses SINMAP model to indicate Stability Index (SI) and susceptibility classes in GIS application. The affecting parameters such, as lithology, slope angle, slope aspect, elevation, land use and rainfall are derived and spatial database was established. The CF value that was used as GIS attributes to integrate the parameters by summation indicated it is certain that landslide will occur along sandstone and shale area with CF value of 0.38.The slope of 20°-30° had high certainty and slope facing northwest and west showed high certainty for landslide as area unexposed to sun have lower temperature and higher soil moisture which are favorable for landslide occurrence. The land use indicated higher certainity of landslides in barren land with grasses and the rain parameter indicated that certainity increases with an increase of rainfall intensity. The integration of the geomorphological parameters in SINMAP model along with the landslide data indicated the relation between contribution area and the slope. The failure slope range indicated by SINMAP model agreed with that of the CF model. The generated susceptibility class map showed similar trend while comparing with the actual landslide data of the area and also indicated the susceptibile area similar to that with CF model.

    Abnormal tides wherein the water level remains high for a few days despite the absence of remarkable meteorological disturbances may occur due to incoming continental-shelf waves. In this study, it is assumed that the continental-shelf wave can be initiated off the Choshi coast; this wave will subsequently reach Tokyo Bay. First, the characteristics of tide anomalies are discussed on the basis of tide, wind, atmospheric pressure, and wave data obtained near Choshi. Second, several obvious cases of water-level propagation from Choshi to Tokyo Bay are collected by scrutinizing the tidal data at both stations. Finally, it is discussed how the adverse effects of abnormal tides induced by the continental-shelf waves may appear to be more serious if the sea level rise is dramatic.

  • Suspended sediment concentration on beaches under three different mechanisms

    Mantripathi Prabath Ravindra Jayaratne, Tomoya Shibayama

    COASTAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL   49 ( 4 ) 357 - 392  2007.12  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    A set of predictive models is formulated for computing suspended sediments concentration in and out surf zone under three different mechanisms:
    (1) suspension due to turbulance motion over sand ripples,
    (2) suspension from sheet flow layer, and
    (3) suspension due to turbulance motion under breaking waves.
    Dimensional analysis ans best-fit technique are the main methods for the formulation of reference concentration and diffusion coefficient and the model parameters are calibrated with the help of a large amount of published data. Time-averaged concentration profiles are derived from the steady diffusion equation. Published experimental data from 19 sources from 1977 to 1966 are better explained by the proposed formulae than the preceding formulae of Sleath [1982]. Nielsen [1986 and 1988] and, Rattanapitikon and shibayama [1994]. Due to scale effects, models are given for small-scale and large-scale cases seperately. Predominance of each suspension mechanism is verified with newly developed explicit formula. Finally, the applicability of the above sub models for irregular waves is also confirmed by the measured data sets.

  • Improvement in calculation of resistance force on caisson sliding due to tilting

    COASTAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL   49 ( 4 ) 417 - 441  2007.12  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The aim of the present paper is to investigate the long-term deformations of the rubble mound of a breakwater during its working life. Understanding these deformations is essential for the sliding and tilting to be able to be measured effectively. In order to do so, laboratory experiments were carried out, from which probability distribution functions of sliding and tilting were obtained for a series of three storms of similar intensity. The laboratory results were then reproduced using a computer model, which decomposed the movement of the caisson into its vertical and horizontal components. The horizontal movement uses the equation of Shimosako and Takahashi [1998] as modified by Kim and Takayama [2005], whereas for the vertical deformation the method of Esteban and Shibayama [2006] is employed. A new methodology for the calculation of the resistance force caused by the caisson tilting is proposed. The results obtained overestimate the deformation slightly during the first storm but can predict well the deformation during the subsequent storms.

     View Summary

    If the Rayleigh distribution of wave heights is valid, the representative wave heights can all be converted one to another through the known relationships. In shallow water, it has been pointed out by many researchers that the wave height distribution deviates from the Rayleigh distribution. However, it is not clear whether this deviation can lead to significant errors on the estimation of representative wave heights or not. Experimental data from small-scale, large-scale, and field experiments were used to examine the errors of the relationships derived from the Rayleigh distribution one stimating representative wave heights. The examination indicates that if H-rms is given, the relationships give overall very good estimations on (H) over bar and H-1/3 ,good estimation on H-1/10 but fair estimation on H-max. the effect of wave breaking was empirically incorporated in to the relationships. The new relationships give better estimation than the relationships derived from the Rayleigh distribution.

     View Summary

    The major aspects of interactive effects between irregular waves and a soft muddy bed, i. e. wave height attenuation and mud mass transport, are examined using numerical simulation and laboratory experiments. The irregular waves are simulated by spectral calculation method and joint distribution of wave height and wave period. The possibility of applying the representative wave method is also examined. The constitutive equations of visco-elastic-plastic model are selected for the complex rheological behavior of fluid mud. A series of wave flume experiments have been performed to obtain the required data for the veri. cation of the numerical model. The results of the numerical model are also compared with the laboratory data of Zhang and Zhao [1999]. It is concluded that both wave spectra modeling and individual wave analysis are capable to simulate the interactive effects between irregular waves and fluid mud. The wave energy dissipation can also be simulated by using common representative waves. However, mean wave is the only representative wave that offers an acceptable approximation for the prediction of mud mass transport.

    COASTAL ENGINEERING   54 ( 5 ) 433 - 444  2007.05  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    A three-dimensional Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model is presented together with a sediment pickup/advection module for the study of spatial and temporal variation of sediment concentration due to three-dimensional fluid motion under breaking waves on a sloping beach. The LES flow module calculates the turbulent flow due to wave breaking where a large-scale turbulence can be directly solved by the governing flow equations and a small-scale turbulence can be evaluated using a sub-grid-scale (SGS) model. In the sediment pickup/advection module, the sediment pickup rate is estimated by a sediment pickup function using the Shield's number at the bottom of the fluid layer, and suspended sediment particles are assumed to move with the ambient fluid. The numerical results show that the flow field including the wave breaking is represented well by the LES model and the sediment pickup/advection module is able to simulate spatial and temporal intermittency of the sediment suspension. Three noticeable sediment pickup areas are defined, namely around the breaking point, break impact area and run-up zone. In the inner region of the surf zone, the sediment concentration distribution shows strong three-dimensionality. The calculated results of the time-averaged and the equi-phase-averaged sediment concentration distributions are compared to earlier laboratory experiment results. The sediment concentration distribution and advection calculated by the model show general correspondence to the experimental results, but the averaged sediment concentration is approximately 1.5 times greater than the experimental value.

    Accumulation of soft mud (muck) at the head of Tokyo Bay is one of the major causes of deterioration of water quality and ecosystems. We conducted field observation of sediment quality and numerical simulation of grain size distribution to reveal the mechanism of its accumulation, which will provide a suggestion for the future restoration of its estuarine environment. We revealed the detailed variation in sediment quality and one of the causes is attributed to the lower decomposition rate of organic matter due to the long-term exposure to hypoxic waters along with the higher rate of accumulation of very fine particles reflecting hydrodynamic properties.

    Many dam projects and dam constructions are increasingly brought forward in Mekong basin. Deposition of sand in dams will causes change of a cycle balance of sediment discharge. It is necessary to integrate numerical information in relation to dam project and sediment discharge. Sediment discharge was calculated by applying MUSLE model. Data of elevation, climate, soil and landuse of the year 1998 were used for calculation. Most of sediment discharge in the area distributed from the upper basin to the middle basin. In the area that has large amount of sediment discharge, the discharge rate will be decreased by Dam development.

     View Summary

    This study was undertaken to find out the suitable breaking wave formulas for computing breaker depth, and corresponding orbital to phase velocity ratio and breaker height converted with linear wave theory. A large amount and wide range of published laboratory data (695 cases collected from 26 sources of published laboratory data) were used to examine and develop the breaker formulas. Examination of some existing formulas indicates that none of them can be used for a wide range of experimental conditions. New breaker formulas were developed based on the re-analysis of the existing formulas. Overall, the new formulas give good predictions over a wide range of experimental conditions.

Examples of environmental problems are collected, classified and discussed in relation to the stages of economic development in these countries. Time history of occurrences of these engineering problems is compared with socioeconomic development stage of each country. It is found out that environmental problems are closely related with industrialization and development stages. The developing countries in Asian region including ASEAN nations are accomplishing economic development well for the long terms before the recession period starting in 1997. Industry, agriculture, and the resort development were rapidly advanced. As a result, Asian region faces a rapid change of environmental system as having not experienced by the human race before. Also in African countries, for examples in Tanzania, we can observe the same type of environmental problems.

  • Irregular wave height transformation using representative wave approach

    W Rattanapitikon, R Karunchintadit, T Shibayama

    COASTAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL   45 ( 3 ) 489 - 510  2003.09

     View Summary

    Many researchers have pointed out that the use of representative wave approach can give erroneous results in the computation of irregular wave height transformation. However, the representative wave approach seems to be an efficient tool incorporated into beach deformation models because of its simplicity and computational efficiency. It will be useful for practical work, if this approach can be used to compute the irregular wave height transformation. Therefore, this study is carried out to investigate the possibility of simulating irregular wave height transformation by using representative wave approach. A large amount and wide range of experimental conditions, covering small-scale, large-scale, and field experimental conditions, are used to calibrate and examine the model. The rms wave height transformation is computed from the energy flux conservation law. Various energy dissipation models of regular wave breaking are directly applied to the irregular wave model and test their applicability. Surprisingly, it is found that by using an appropriate energy dissipation model with new coefficients, the representative wave approach can be used to compute the rms wave height transformation with very good accuracy.

     View Summary

    The present study aims to simulate the various features of wave-mud interaction on fine-grained shore profiles including wave height attenuation, wave-induced mud mass transport, gravity-driven flow of fluid mud and the reconfiguration of profile shape. A two-dimensional mud beach deformation model is presented considering the transport of fluid mud under continued wave action and downward gravity force. The wave height transformation is computed from the energy flux conservation law combining the effects of mud bed, shoaling and wave breaking. The rheological constitutive equations of visco-elastic-plastic model (Shibayama et al., 1990) are selected for numerical simulation. Wave flume experiments are carried out and the results are utilized for the verification of numerical model. The results of the numerical model are also compared with the laboratory data of Nakano (1994). It is concluded that the model is capable to predict the observed phenomena.

    COASTAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL   45 ( 1 ) 29 - 48  2003.03

     View Summary

    A new breaker height formula is developed based on a re-analysis of available laboratory data. The analysis shows that the breaking wave steepness is mainly governed by its deepwater wave steepness. The power form could be used to fit the relationship between breaking wave steepness and its deepwater wave steepness. This finding is new. Although the breaker height has been a subject of study for a century, no researcher has tried to relate the breaking wave steepness to the deepwater wave steepness. Bottom slope effect is included explicitly into the present formula. The present formula and existing formulas are examined and compared with a large number and wide range of published laboratory data (695 cases collected from 26 sources). Overall, the present formula gives very good predictions over a wide range of experimental conditions and is better than existing formulas.

     View Summary

    This study is undertaken to find out the most reliable breaker height formulas that predict well for a wide range of hydraulic conditions. The applicability of 24 existing formulas, for computing breaking wave heights, is examined by using wide range and large amount of published laboratory data (574 cases collected from 24 sources). It is found that most formulas predict well for the breaking waves on the gentle slope (0 &lt; m &lt;less than or equal to&gt; 0.07), but the prediction is unsatisfactory for the breaking waves on the steep slope (0.1 &lt; m &lt;less than or equal to&gt; 0.44). Three formulas are selected and are modified by including the new form of bottom slope effect into the formulas. The new breaker height formulas predict well for wide range of wave and bottom slope conditions.

     View Summary

    Based on a re-analysis of the existing undertow models and the experimental results, a proper explicit model is proposed for computing undertow profile inside the surf zone. The model has been derived by using the eddy viscosity approach. The model is examined using published laboratory data from six sources covering small-scale and large-scale experiments, i.e. the experiments of Nadaoka et al. (1982), Hansen and Svendsen (1984), Okayasu et al. (1988), Cox et al. (1994), CRIEPI (Kajima et al., 1983) and SUPERTANK (Kraus and Smith, 1994). The present undertow model is considerably simpler than most of existing models. Although the model is simple, it shows good agreement with the experimental results above the bottom boundary layer. The calculation is so simple that the undertow profile can be calculated by using a pocket calculator.

A socalled 'numerical pump' method is proposed in handling the side boundaries for the purpose to obtain a relatively uniform longshore distribution of longshore current and to diminish the circulation of flow outside the surf zone.

    The present paper is aimed to formulate a numerical model for calculating the time-dependent velocity field and the space and time distribution of sand concentration inside the bottom boundary layer in the surf zone. The numerical results are compared with recent laboratory data. The 2DV (two-dimensional vertical) numerical module for the velocity field is based on the Reynolds averaged form of the Navier-Stokes equations while the sand transport module uses the turbulent convection-diffusion equation. The equiphase mean values for the horizontal and vertical velocities within the bottom boundary layer (the flow field) and the equi-phase mean values for the sand concentration are obtained. A transformation of the coordinate system is performed in order to enable the easy implementation of the numerical modelling. Details of the numerical modelling together with discussions on the boundary conditions are also presented. The comparison of numerical and laboratory results reveals relatively good agreement within certain limitations of the present model. The laboratory data, which are used to compare the hydrodynamic numerical model have been obtained in the surf zone while the ones for verifying the sand concentration numerical model are obtained as a result of pure oscillatory movement.

     View Summary

    A model is developed to simulate the temporal and spatial distributions of suspended sediment in the surf zone. The model is solved numerically in a time domain and in a two-dimensional vertical plane. At each time step of computation, the upper moving boundary (water surface) and the velocity field are determined through the solution of a hydrodynamic model which is based on the Reynolds equations of motion. The sediment concentration field is then determined by solving the convection-diffusion equation of the sediment mass. The comparisons with laboratory data of various experimental conditions show reasonable agreements for the simulated wave field and the concentration field in the surf zone.

     View Summary

    Simple formulas to predict time-averaged suspended sediment concentration are formulated using steady diffusion equation. Empirical formulas are developed to compute reference concentration (boundary condition) and diffusion coefficient. For suspended sediment concentration in the field, the same formulas with regular wave condition can be applied by using root mean square wave height and average wave period. Total 139 data sets are used for calibration of empirical formulas and 175 data sets are used for verification.

    Tomoya Shibayama, Hiroshi Takikawa, Kiyoshi Horikawa

    Coastal Engineering Journal   29   151 - 161  1986.12  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Theoretical and laboratory investigations were performed in order to estimate the rate of mud mass transport under wave action. In the theoretical work, the behavior of soft mud over which waves were propagating was assumed to be similar to a viscous fluid. Then a formula to calculate the rate of mud mass transport was derived by using the analytical solution of mud velocity field. In the laboratory work, spatial distributions and time histories of the mud mass transport rate were measured in a wave flume using kaolinite as a bed material.

     View Summary

    A simplified simulation model for predicting two-dimentional beach transformation was developed based on the recent results of research works on wave transformation, near bottom velocity and sediment transport. The wave field was calculated by the energy flux method based on either cnoidal or linear wave theory in the offshore zone, and by Mizuguchi's energy dissipation model in the surf zone. The velocity field was calculated by the approximate method of Koyama and Iwata using the cnoidal wave profile or by linear wave theory. The sediment transport formula of Shibayama and Horikawa, which includes the effect of suspended sediment caused by vortices created in the vicinity of ripples, was used to calculate transport rates. The model was found to give reasonable results. The results were compared with various laboratory data and the feasibility of the model was discussed.

     View Summary

    In order to investigate on-offshore sediment transport mechanism and two-dimensional beach transformation, sediment movement under the agitation of wave breaking was considered. Sediment movement in the vicinity of wave breaking point was observed in a wave flume and sediment concentration was measured both in the wave flume and on natural beaches. The rate and direction of sediment transport at wave breaking point were calculated by using the data of two-dimensional beach profile change. The governing factors to determine the rate and direction are wave period, sediment fall velocity and suspended distance of sediment particles above bottom.

     View Summary

    A powerful typhoon Faxai, the 15th typhoon in 2019, made landfall in Tokyo’s neighboring Chiba Prefecture around 5:00 a.m. on September 9. It caused severe structural damage especially in the southwestern part of Chiba Prefecture. It also triggered extensive and continued power outage in Chiba Prefecture. Power supply was disrupted at approximately 640 thousand houses in Chiba Prefecture as of 10:30 am on September 9. The power failure continued for about two weeks mainly in the southern part of Chiba Prefecture. In this study, various functional and structural damage caused by this typhoon was investigated. In Japan, it is anticipated that extensive power outages may occur after the Tokyo Inland and the Nankai Trough earthquakes in the near future. This study will be helpful to establish a resilient water supply system against future earthquakes.

    Appearance of anoxia and hydrogen sulfide in dredged pits causing mortality of benthic animals is considered as one of the most serious water quality problems in polluted bays. Adverse impacts on marine environments in shallows and tidal flats due to upwelling of anoxic waters are also of great concern. In this study, we performed field measurements and numerical modeling of anoxia and hydrogen sulfide processes. Using the model, we elucidated the impacts of dredged pits on surrounding environments and developed an effective management methodology on the basis of application of water duct technology.

    沿岸地域での自然災害には頻度の高いものと低いものがあるが、これらの災害による損害は、近年の増加する沿岸域人口密度のため急速に増加している。本研究では主に津波と高潮を取り上げており、頻度は低いけれどもインパクトの大きい災害を取り上げている。発展途上国の沿岸地域に存在している自然災害の危険性の様々な形態に対するリスク管理は揺籠期にあり、特に高潮のように台風に起因するものは、地球環境の変動によって台風の挙動が変化するために今後の対策を立案することが困難である。本研究では、災害へのリスクマネジメントの現状を分析して、災害の予防性を改良する方法を考察した。特に台風の変動による港湾施設の利用率の変化を取り上げた。地球規模の気候変動とそれに伴う台風の挙動の変化がどのように地域の災害管理に影響するかに関しては台湾をケーススタディとして検討した。
    一方で、このような外力が、港湾構造によく使われているケーソン防波堤に作用した場合にどのような被災が起こるかについて、水理実験、数値シミュレーションによって検討した。また、様々な文献資源を収集し、自然災害とその対策に関する情報を収集し、これらを分類整理した。昨年までの成果を踏まえて、気候変動による台風の変化による経済活動への影響、および津波による構造物の破壊を取り上げてケーソン防波堤の安定性を具体的に検討した。また、津波高潮など沿岸域災害対応策に関連する論文を海岸工学に関する国際会議(OMAE、 Breakwater Conference, Coastal Dynamics)等で発表した。2009年8月に早稲田大学大隈小講堂において開催された「アジアとアフリカにおける沿岸域の防災・環境・管理に関する研究集会」においても、ベトナム、インドネシア、タイ、スリランカ、タンザニア、イギリス、カナダ、日本など各国の研究者とともに沿岸防災について議論し、本研究成果を伝達した。

     View Summary

    This study focused civil engineers' participation processes in civil projects with two key concepts : individuals with relationship to others and participation in everyday activities.
    We performed two researches and made educational materials for Civil Engineers' Ethics.
    (1) Network Analysis
    One research titled An Analysis of Civil Engineer's Society Using the Theory of Network is a survey with focus on individuals with relationship to others. In this research, Network Analysis was borrowed and networks among civil engineers' society were analyzed. As a result, civil engineers' behaviors were influenced from the social position of their own group in civil engineers' society. Civil engineers belonging to higher ranked groups in civil engineers' society are eager to obey Civil Engineers' Ethics.
    (2) Ethnography
    The other research titled Analysis of Decision Making Process of Engineers by using Ethnography is a fieldwork study with focus on participation in everyday activities. Our research assistant participated in the real tunnel construction field as a trainee of civil engineer for about three weeks. In this study, decision making processes among civil engineers who were gathered on the purpose of a tunnel construction, were analyzed. As a result, they shared the Inter-dependent Self that is a social representation spread among East Asia. An individual express himself depending on relationship with others.

     View Summary

    We first conducted a field survey to reveal the thickness of polluted mud layer in Tokyo Bay using a method of bottom sounding based on two supersonic waves. There were, however, some problems for this method. We thus tried to reveal spatial variation in mud quality directly on the basis of sediment core sampling. We developed a core sampling method using an Ekman barge sampler altered to take mud core samples efficiently. We collected more than 50 core samples in the inner part of the bay and sliced them every about 1cm from the surface of the sediment to the deep layer. Then we measured water content, sediment grain size distribution, total organic carbon and nitrogen, and carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratio. We elucidated higher organic content mud is accumulated around the central part of the inner bay while lower organic content sediment is accumulated around it. A three-dimensional and multi-class sediment accumulation model was developed to reproduce and understand the sediment accumulation processes considering the variation in sediment grain size. We reproduced muddy sediment accumulation processes in the bay. On the basis of field investigation and numerical experiments as well as former field data, we analyzed the mechanism of the formation of these sedimentary processes such that finer particles adsorb larger amount of organic matter and settling and resuspension processes are dominant factors. Moreover, observed lower C/N values at the central part are also one of the major causes of the formation of spatial variation in sediment quality because the waters in the central part are exposed to hypoxia for longer time than those of their surrounding waters, which makes the rate of mineralization lower.

    TWO-DIMENSIONAL SUSPENDED SEDIMENT DISTRIBUTION CAUSED BY WAVE BREAKING ON A SLOPE WAS MEASURED IN A LABORATORY WAVE FLUME BY USING A CT TYPE SEDIMENT METER. THE 2-DIMENSIONAL SEDIMENT CONCENTRATION WAS OBTAINED FROM ATTENUATION RATE OF TRANSMITTED LASER POWER. IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT CONCENTRARION CAN BE QUANTITATIVELY EVALUATED. SIZE AND MOVEMENT OF SUSPENDED SEDIMENT CLOUDS WERE INVESTIGATED.
    THREE-DIMENSIONAL FLUID MOTION CAUSED BY WAVE BREAKING WAS MEASURED IN A LARGE WAVE FLUME BY USING AN ARRAY OF ACOUSTIC DOPPELAR VELOCIMETERS.

IT WAS FOUND THAT STRENGTH OF HORIZONTAL VORTICES INCREASE, THEN DECREASE WITH BREAKING WAVE PROPAGATION AND VERTICAL VORTICES ARE RELATIVELY WEAK NEAR THE BREAKING POINTS. VORTICITY BECOMES HOMOGENIOUS IN THE INNER SURF ZONE.
    IN ORDER TO EVALUATE INTERMITTENCY AND THREE-DIMENSIONALITY OF ORGANIZED EDDIES IN THE SURF ZONE, FIELD EXPERIMENTS WERE CONDUCTED WITH AN OBSERVATION ARRAY OF VELOCIMETERS AND SEDIMENT METERS. IT WAS FOUND THAT VELOCITY ACCERELATION AND TURBULENCE SHOW HIGH CORRELALTION AND CORRELATION BETWEEN THESE PROPERTIES AND SEDIMENT CONCENTRAION IS ALSO HIGH. INTERMITTENCY OF SEDIMENT PICKUP BY WAVE BREAKING WAS SHOWN AND THE PICKUP EVENTS COULD BE DETECTED BY FLUID VELOCITY AND ACCERELATION.

     View Summary

    The present study aims on numerical simulation of various processes of wave-mud interaction on mud shore profiles, i.e., two-dimensional profiles covered with cohesive materials, including determination of fixed bed elevation and thickness of mobile mud layer, surface erosion, wave height attenuation, mud mass transport and profile deformation.
    The location of fixed bed is determined by comparing the vertical profiles of wave-induced shear stress, calculated by an analytical elastic model, and yield strength. Erosion rate is calculated by an empirical formula, expressed as a function of maximum shear stress at bed surface and water content of mud.
    Wave height transformation is computed from energy conservation equation, including the energy dissipation of the mud bed. Formulation of wave decay is also extended to the surf zone, combining both energy dissipation rates of mud bed and wave breaking. In this regard, the hydrodynamic model combines different effects of shoaling, wave attenuation and wave breaking.
    The rheological constitutive equations of visco-elastic-plastic model (Shibayama et al., 1989) are selected for numerical modeling of wave-mud interaction and downward gravity-driven flow of mud layer. Multi-layered models are used to calculate mud mass transport velocities under the external forces, i.e., pressure gradients of the passing wave and gravity. Net transport rate is then determined by superimposition of the results. Finally, the deformation of the shore profile is determined from mass conservation equation, considering net mud mass transport and surface erosion.
    A series of wave flume experiments have been performed to obtain the required data on sloping bed, such as wave height distribtution, mud mass transport velocity, and profile change of muddy bed. Although the offshore and onshore boundaries of the limited mud section are effective on the measured parameters, comparison of the numerical results and laboratory data reveals that the model is able to predict the observed phenomena. The numerical results are also compared with the laboratory data of Nakano (1994). The model well predicts the bottom deformation for all different combinations of wave height and water content of mud.

    In the project, the main theme was to clarify 'What is environmental effect of development in coastal region? '. In many examples, development projects are necessary and environmental problem sometimes comes to restriction condition for the planning of development projects. In the project, we noticed that the problems between development and environment change depending on situation of each country. The investigated countries are Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Myanmer and Cambodia.
    There are variety of development projects in coastal region according to development stages of country economy. They are port construction, reclamation for industrial area, agriculture development, fishery port construction, resort facilities and disaster prevention such as flood control and storm surge protection. Upon the construction projects, there are several kinds of environmental impacts. They are beach erosion, water quality change including the generation of red tide or bule tide, and ecology change which are loss of mangrove forest or loss of shallow water area due to reclamation works.
    From engineering aspect, it is very important to predict future environmental problem. It is necessary to collect date by for example field observations. We have variety of simulation methods and they can be divided into two categories, numerical experiments (computer simulation) and hydraulic experiments (laboratory model test). We have long experiences for these two techniques. However, these methods are limited to short term prediction raging from days to years. If we follow the result of prediction by using these methods, we will have a number of "un-expected results" in long term prediction as we did in our history. In order to improve this point, it is very important to do case studies which have time ranges from 10 to 100 years. This type of analysis based on long time period is very useful to consider environmental impacts.
    The other important view point is that the small scale development as well as large scale development is important since even small scale development works will result big environmental impacts. Here small scale project includes recreation facilities or fishery ports.
    Time history of occurrences of these coastal engineering problems is compared with economical and social development stage of each country. It is concluded that coastal problems are closely related with industrialization and development stages. Also, we confirmed that the exchange of ideas based on their own experiences will be very fruitful for coastal engineers to cope with environmental problems due to new development projects in coastal region. In asian region, we have common problems in coastal area development.

     View Summary

    A numerical model is developed to predict bottom topography changes around river mouth. The wave field is calculated by using mild slope equation with including wave-current interaction effect. Near-bottom velocity variations and the distribution of radiation stress are evaluated by using the calculated wave field. The current field associated with sand movement is calculated including wave induced current and river discharge. The river current is introduced into the model as a boundary condition. Since we included wave-current interaction, it was necessary to calculate by iteration process in order to get converged solutions for wave and current field.
    Bed load transport rate is calculated from bottom shear stress caused by wave orbital motion, wave induced nearshore current and river current. Suspended sand discharge from the river and suspended sand due to wave breaking are also included in the model. The wave field, current field and bottom topography changes are compared with laboratory results in order to examine the accuracy of numerical model.
    Laboratory experiments are performed in a wave basin designed to facilitate the understanding of the mechanism of sand movement as well as the behavior of wave and current field around river mouth. Well-sorted sand (median diameter 0.15mm) are laid in the wave basin to make an 2.5 times 2.3 meter test bed with the initial slope of 1/20. A river mouth with water discharge was installed at upper end of the test bed. The distribution of wave height and the variation of near-bottom velocities in the test section are measured in details by using capacitant wave gages or an ultra-sonic velocity meter respectively for three conditions of monochromatic waves and river discharges.
    From comparisons, we can judge that the present numerical model, which includes wave-current interaction, bed load and suspended load due to wave breaking and river discharge, can predict laboratory results of beach changes in the vicinity of river mouth areas.

    The objective of this research is to clarify the characteristics of wave and current field around a newly developed "Longitudinal Reef System". A system of longitudinal reefs was tested in a wave basin for wave heights and currents distribution. A numerical model based on the parabolic equation was also examined by the experimental results.
    1) A system of three units of longitudinal reefs was placed in a wave basin. Wave heights and currents were measured for obliquely incident regular and irregular waves. It was confirmed that the wave energy was efficiently dissipated by the system and water exchange with offshore region was improved.
    2) A numerical model with the radiation stress computed by the parabolic equation yielded wave-induced currents which were in good agreement with experimental results.
    3) A statistical approach was adopted for the numerical calculation for the case of irregular waves. The model gave a good agreement with the experimental results.
    4) Current field induced by a system of seven units was numerically investigated. Large decay of the wave energy by the system showed the effective function for coastal protection of the system.

     View Summary

    A theoretical and experimental investigation has been undertaken to clarify the interaction between wave-current and mud bed. The characteristics of this interaction are the high wave attenuation and the mud mass transport in the bed layer. Modeling this interaction is mainly based on the theologecal properties of mud.
    Based on the recent progresses on the rheological measurements of mud, a model called the visco-elastic-plastic model is proposed. According to this model, the mud has two states. When the shear stress is less than or equal to the yield stress, the mud is in viscoelastic state, and when the shear stress is greater than the yield stress, the mud is in viscoplastic state. An experiment has been carried out by using an oscillatory type viscoelastic meter to investigate rheological parameters when mud is in the viscoelastic state. The results reveal that the viscosity and the elasticity modulus of mud depend on the water content of mud and the oscillatory period. The empirical formulas to express these dependents are then established.

     View Summary

    When a tsunami comes to seaside industrial areas, seawater would enter landside areas through underground pipelines and induce inundation disasters. In the present study, the authors aim to investigate the risks of this tsunami inundation via the pipelines using the numerical simulation model. The results indicated that the influence of the tsunami inundation via the pipelines on seaside areas is not small and especially it will likely to influence the initial phase of evacuation. It is therefore important for port authorities and city planners to consider such risks when developing tsunami mitigation plans.

    © 2018 American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). All rights reserved. A practical numerical model was developed to simulate cross-shore profile evolution at two coastal sites in Iran. The model consists of three sub-models for calculating wave and current, sediment transport, and bed level changes. Validation and calibration of the model was carried out using the measured field data on the north and south coasts of Iran, where historic measurements of cross-shore beach profiles and wave conditions have been recorded. The model is formulated for calculating cross-shore sediment transports in and outside the surf zone by the product of time-averaged suspended sediment concentration under three different mechanisms and undertow velocity. The comparisons between the model results and field data show reasonable agreement for both coastal sites and will be capable of applying it to other coastal sites with modifications to the free parameters.

     View Summary

    This paper compares two different types of storm surge disaster based on field surveys. Two cases: a severe storm surge flood with its height of over 5 m due to Typhoon Haiyan (2013) in Philippine, and inundation of storm surge around Nemuro city in Hokkaido of Japan with its maximum surge height of 2.8 m caused by extra-tropical cyclone are taken as examples. For the case of the Typhoon Haiyan, buildings located in coastal region were severely affected due to a rapidly increase in ocean surface. The non-engineering buildings were partially or completely destroyed due to their debris transported to an inner bay region. In fact, several previous reports indicated two unique features, bore-like wave and remarkably high speed currents. These characteristics of the storm surge may contribute to a wide-spread corruption for the buildings around the affected region. Furthermore, in the region where the surge height was nearly 3 m, the wooden houses were completely or partially destroyed. On the other hand, in Nemuro city, a degree of suffering in human and facility caused by the storm surge is minor. There was almost no partially destroyed residential houses even though the height of storm surge reached nearly 2.8 m. An observation in the tide station in Nemuro indicated that this was a usual type of storm surge, which showed a gradual increase of sea level height in several hours without possessing the unique characteristics like Typhoon Haiyan. As a result, not only the height of storm surge but also the robustness of the buildings and characteristics of storm surge, such as bore like wave and strong currents, determined the existent of devastation in coastal regions.

  • A predictive model for scour depth of coastal building failures due to tsunamis

    Mara Nicholas, Ravindra Jayaratne, Takayuki Suzuki, Tomoya Shibayama

    Proceedings of the Coastal Engineering Conference   35  2016.01

     View Summary

    The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami was one of the strongest earthquakes which generated a major tsunami in modern history. The tsunami disaster had an estimated cost of 16.9 trillion yen (US 217.3 billion) and affected the Coastal buildings, services, infrastructure and industrial sectors. Approximately 61% of damaged cost was from the building sector. A practical predictive scour depth model at seaward face was developed to highlight the scour failure of Coastal buildings in Miyagi, Fukushima and Iwate prefectures affected by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. The predictive model for representative scour depth was developed in terms of various hydraulic, geometrical and soil properties affecting Coastal buildings. An analysis was undertaken to investigate the effectiveness of the authors&#039; predictive scour model against the existing models. The results of the authors&#039; proposed model suggested that the tsunami velocity played a significant role on tsunami-induced scour, other scour models such as Tonkin et al.&#039;s model (2003) is reliant on the accuracy of sub models and hydrodynamic forces while the Colorado State University model as modified by Nadal et al. (2010) is reliant on the geometric parameter of the structure.

  • Ensemble forecast of extreme storm surge: A case study of 2013 typhoon haiyan

    Ryota Nakamura, Tomoya Shibayama

    Proceedings of the Coastal Engineering Conference   35  2016.01

     View Summary

    The object of this study is to evaluate an ensemble forecast of extreme storm surge by using a case of Typhoon Haiyan (2013) and its associated storm surge. A simple numerical model composed of ARW-WRF, FVCOM and SWAN is employed as a forecast system for storm surge. This ensemble system can successfully forecast storm surge 3-4 days before it happened. However, the typhoons in almost all ensemble members were underpredicted probably because of its difficulty in forecasting a track and central pressure of highly intense typhoon. This leads to the underestimation of a prediction of storm surges around Leyte Gulf. Compensating the underestimation of forecasted extreme storm surge, it can be important to not only examine the ensemble mean among members but also consider the phase-shifted manipulation and the worst ensemble member in the case where the extreme storm surge is forecasted. In addition, the ensemble forecast system can have a potential to determine the time at which the peak of extreme surge appears with a high precision.

  • A study on wave-induced particle velocities in fluid mud layer

    Mohsen Soltanpour, Hadi Shamsnia, Tomaya Shibayama, Ryota Nakamura, Akifumi Tatekoji

    Proceedings of the Coastal Engineering Conference   35  2016.01

     View Summary

    Cohesive sediments can be found in many coastal zones all over the world. The upper layer of these muddy coasts may be fluidized under the wave action. Fluid mud is also formed by settlement of fine particles when the waves and currents exert a small shearing stress on the bed. When the waves pass over the fluid mud layer, it absorbs wave energy and, in turn, moves due to the wave action. The present study offers a numerical and experimental study of wave-mud interaction on a horizontal bed. A number of wave flume laboratory tests are presented to investigate wave attenuation, particle velocities in fluid mud layer and mud mass transport under different wave characteristics. The laboratory results are also compared with a developed semi-Analytical model.

  • Influence of historical bathymetric changes due to urbanization on the vulnerability of storm surge in Tokyo bay

    Akifumi Tatekoji, Ryota Nakamura, Tomoya Shibayama

    Proceedings of the Coastal Engineering Conference   35  2016.01

     View Summary

    In this study, the influence of historical changes on bathymetry to the intensity and features of the storm surge in the Tokyo Bay is evaluated using the meteorology-ocean-Tide models. In detail, storm surge of 1917 is reproduced using an artificial Taisho Typhoon of 1917 in order to quantify the influence of bathymetric changes. This paper possesses two important findings. The first is that past storm surge occurred mainly because of shallow water area spanning over the inner bay which can be characteristics of past bathymetry. The second is that the high vulnerable area affected by storm surge has been shifted from mudflat shallow area in the inner bay to the below-sea-level inland area, due to landfill and urbanization which have continued approximately 100 years after the storm. As a conclusion, the bathymetry shifting due to human activity has a great influence to changing the effects of coastal disasters even in the same location.

This scheme has a potential to improve an initial atmospheric field and give a better results, in terms of routes and minimum sea surface pressure of the typhoon. In the results of calculated storm surge, a height of the estimated storm surge reached approximately 5.0 m at Tacloban. This value is a good agreement with the measured height. The timing of the storm surge was 00:00 UTC 8th November 2013. The estimated time of the storm surge invoked by Yolanda is almost the same with that of information from residents. Thus, the storm surge model composed of the WRF, FVCOM, SWAN and WX-tide has a potential to reproduce the storm surge realistically. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

  • Detached Breakwaters Effects on Tsunamis around Coastal Dykes

    Takahito Mikami, Mizuho Kinoshita, Shunya Matsuba, Shun Watanabe, Tomoya Shibayama

    8TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ASIAN AND PACIFIC COASTS (APAC 2015)   116   422 - 427  2015

     View Summary

    The Japanese coastal areas have a lot of different types of coastal structures with different purposes, and it is important to understand each structure's effects on tsunami. In the present paper, the authors focused on detached breakwaters effects on tsunami flow around coastal dykes with a field data investigation and laboratory experiments using a tsunami basin. The field data obtained from the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami showed that tsunami flow was not uniform along a coastal dyke with the specific arrangement of detached breakwaters. The laboratory experiments performed in a tsunami basin showed that a detached breakwater with a small detached breakwater parameter (distance from the shoreline/length of the opening) had a tsunami mitigation effect along the shoreline just behind the main body of the breakwater, but did not have a tsunami mitigation effect along the shoreline just behind the opening. The results obtained from the laboratory experiments agreed with the field data of the 2011 tsunami. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

  • Field Surveys of Recent Storm Surge Disasters

    Tomoya Shibayama

    8TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ASIAN AND PACIFIC COASTS (APAC 2015)   116   179 - 186  2015

     View Summary

    In these ten years since 2004, there were more than ten big disasters in coastal area including six storm surge events and five tsunami events. The author performed post disaster surveys on all these events as the team leaders of survey teams. Based on those experiences, the author describes lessons of these events. Tsunami is now generally well known to coastal residents. Evacuation plans gradually become common for tsunami disasters. Storm surges arise more frequently due to strong storms but coastal residents are not well protected and not informed how to evacuate in case of surge emergency. From the field surveys conducted, it appeared that the damage depend on the geographical and social conditions of each of the areas that were visited by the author. It is now clear that such issues play important roles in disaster mechanisms. Therefore disaster risk management should carefully include local topography and social conditions of each area during the formulation of disaster prevention plans. In order to establish a reliable disaster prevention system, appropriate protection structures should be constructed, and these should be accompanied by a clear and concise evacuation plan for residents of a given area.

    Coastal Structures and Solutions to Coastal Disasters 2015: Tsunamis - Proceedings of the Coastal Structures and Solutions to Coastal Disasters Joint Conference 2015     54 - 64  2015

     View Summary

    This paper reports on an experimental test program investigating the motion and entrainment of flow-entrained debris. The motion of debris in large scale hydraulic events can cause severe damage to the impacted communities: the dynamic characteristics of the debris' motion is crucial in identifying high-risk areas in affected communities. Determining the motion of flow-entrained debris has been historically difficult to quantify as many traditional techniques, such as post-mortem site assessment, cannot provide sufficient information about the kinematic and environmental conditions that affect the debris motion. This paper presents a novel non-invasive system for tracking the 6 degrees-of-freedom debris motion. The experiments examined the effect of various debris configurations on their entrainment as well as their overall motion. Using video footage, the debris entrainment mechanisms and surrounding flow features common to all experiments were examined and using this tracking system, the motion of the debris was accurately tracked and further used to validate other debris spreading observed in real field conditions.

  • Analysis of Tsunami behavior and the effect of coastal forest in reducing Tsunami force around coastal dikes

    Shunya Matsuba, Takahito Mikami, Ravindra Jayaratne, Tomoya Shibayama, Miguel Esteban

    Proceedings of the Coastal Engineering Conference   2014-January  2014.01

     View Summary

    Many coastal dikes in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures in Japan were damaged due to the 2011 Great Eastern Japan Earthquake Tsunami. The primary failure mode of these dikes was scour failure at the leeward toe by the overflowing tsunami. However, the forces exerted by the tsunami wave against the dikes were reduced to the presence of some obstacles (such as trees) located behind the dikes, increasing the tsunami inundation height immediately behind the structure and actually helping to reduce the force on the dike itself. In order to analyze how tsunamis affected coastal dikes, the authors carried out post-tsunami field surveys and laboratory tests using dikes and different coastal forest models. The critical failure mechanism of dikes was analyzed and co-related to tsunami overflowing pattern. In addition, the experimental results show how coastal forest can help to reduce the damage caused by the tsunami to coastal dikes by increasing water depth and changing the tsunami motion pattern. Thus, the placement of coastal forests behind dikes can help to increase their resilience against tsunami attack, and should be considered as part of a disaster management strategy for certain tsunami prone areas.

  • Tsunami resonance in the bay of Concepcion, Chile

    Proceedings of the Coastal Engineering Conference   2014-January  2014.01

     View Summary

    Natural oscillation modes of the Bay of Concepcion are determined by means of Empirical Orthogonal Functions. Simulations of the 2010 and 1960 tsunamis were performed using 4 nested grids of 120, 30, 6 and 1″ arc resolution with the NEOWAVE model. In addition, a spectral analysis of tsunami waveforms at both the continental shelf and inside the Bay of Concepcion was performed, and the results were contrasted with natural oscillation periods. The results showed that the natural oscillation period of the first, second and third modes of the Bay were found to be 95, 37 and 32 min. It was found that large tsunami amplifications at the southern shore of the Bay of Concepcion were due to tsunami resonance and coupling between the shelf resonance and bay oscillations. Large inundations heights during 2010 tsunami were caused by the tsunami exciting the fundamental oscillation mode of the Bay. The relative low inundation during the 1960 tsunami was due to the tsunami exciting the higher frequency.

  • Flow geometry of overflowing tsunamis around coastal dykes

    Takahito Mikami, Shunya Matsuba, Tomoya Shibayama

    Proceedings of the Coastal Engineering Conference   2014-January  2014.01

     View Summary

    Japan has a long stretch of coastal dykes along its shoreline to protect against many types of coastal disasters. The 2011 Tohoku Tsunami caused serious damage to these coastal dykes along the long coastaline. One of the main reasons of the coastal dyke failure was overflowing tsunamis. Thus, after the 2011 Tohoku Tsunami, many studies on coastal dyke failure due to overflowing tsunamis have been conducted. The present study aimed to analyze the basic hydraulic characteristics of overflowing tsunamis on coastal dykes. First, the characteristics of overflowing tsunamis on coastal dykes observed during the 2011 tsunami were described using field data. The field data showed that there were different types of overflowing tsunamis during the 2011 tsunami and these types could be related to coastal dyke failure. Then, flow geometry were discussed based on the classification presented by Hom-ma (1940). Finally, the relationships between the hydraulic characteristics of overflowing tsunamis around coastal dykes (velocity field and pressure profile) and coastal dyke failure were discussed in detail by means of both laboratory investigations and numerical experiments.

  • Study of irregular wave-current-mud interaction

    Proceedings of the Coastal Engineering Conference   2014-January  2014.01

     View Summary

    The dissipation of regular and irregular waves on a muddy bed with the existence of following and opposing currents are investigated through a series of wave flume laboratory experiments. The commercial kaolinite is used as fluid mud layer. The laboratory results show the increase of both regular and irregular wave heights due to opposing currents. On the other hand, the following currents result to the decrease of the wave heights. In the numerical treatment, the deformation of wave due to current was first calculated based on the conservation equation of wave action and then the attenuation of this deformed wave due to the muddy bed is simulated by a multi-layered wave-mud interaction model. Acceptable agreements were observed between the numerical results and laboratory data.

  • Predictive model for scour depth of coastal structure failures due to tsunamis

    Ravindra Jayaratne, Adewale Abimbola, Takahito Mikami, Shunya Matsuba, Miguel Esteban, Tomoya Shibayama

    Proceedings of the Coastal Engineering Conference   2014-January  2014.01

     View Summary

    Post-tsunami field surveys carried out after the 2011 Great Eastern Japan Earthquake Tsunami revealed that scour around the landward side of concrete sea dikes and seawalls was the most dominant failure mechanism. To better understand this phenomenon, detailed scour data were collected and soil samples from the surveyed locations in Miyagi and Fukushima Prefectures of Japan were comprehensively analysed. Mathematical modeling technique was employed with various combinations of input variables considered in order to determine the effective variables needed to predict the representative scour depth at the leeward of a concrete sea dike or seawall and possible design of these coastal structures against tsunami impact. Parameters such as impact overflowing pressure, height of structure measured at the landward side, inundation height, inundation velocity, angle of landward slope, Darcy&#039;s coefficient of permeability and scour depth were found to be the effective parameters essential to generate proposed scour depth predictive model. The results indicate that the hydrodynamic parameters, soil properties and physical geometry of coastal structure play a crucial role in the scour process of such structures. In addition to that, numerical experiments were also performed in order to understand the characteristics of tsunami flow around a typical coastal dike, and to propose preliminary guidelines for structure resilience against future tsunamis.

  • Climate change adaptation in Tokyo Bay: The case for a storm surge barrier

    Miguel Esteban, Takahito Mikami, Tomoya Shibayama, Hiroshi Takagi, Sebastiaan N. Jonkman, Mathijs Van Ledden

    Proceedings of the Coastal Engineering Conference   2014-January  2014.01

     View Summary

    Increases in typhoon intensity and sea level rise could pose significant challenges to coastal defences around Tokyo Bay. In order to analyse the extent of future problems the authors determined the increase storm surge that could result from an increase in typhoon intensity and sea level rise to this area around the turn of the 21st century. Results show how the various settlements around Tokyo Bay are at considerable risk of storm surges and sea level rise in the future. If defences are breached the potential direct economic consequences could be significant, potentially in excess of 100 trillion yen, with the indirect costs likely to be even greater. As a result it is likely that sea defences will have to be strengthened around Tokyo Bay in the future, which could cost in the order of 370bn yen to defend against a 1 in 100 year storm by the year 2100. Alternatively, a storm surge barrier could be built, which would be more expensive (possibly in the range of 700-800bn yen), though it could increase the protection level and would be able to cope with 1 in 200 or 500 year events, amongst other benefits.

    Proceedings of the Coastal Engineering Conference   2014-January  2014.01

     View Summary

    The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of an integrated meteorology and storm surge model for both the hind casting and prediction of future climate change intensified cyclones over the Bay of Bengal. This meteorology based storm surge model was developed and applied by integrating a mesoscale WRF model with the wave model SWAN and coastal ocean model FVCOM. The coupled model could capture the actual phenomena of historical cyclone Nargis, which made landfall in Myanmar in 2008, accurately and reproduce the total water level rise due to this event. The model was then used to also simulate future cyclones over the Bay of Bengal taking into account climate change by the year 2100.

     View Summary

    The relative lack of frequency of major tsunami events has meant that little attention was paid in the past to the development of formulas to design breakwater armour against these events. However, field surveys of recent events such as the 2011 Great Eastern Japan Earthquake Tsunami and 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami have shown flaws in the design of protection structures. In the present work, the authors have set out to improve the accuracy of the formula of Esteban et al. (2012) by expanding the analysis to a number of other ports that were affected by the 2011 Great Eastern Japan Earthquake Tsunami and the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. The aim is to obtain a formula that can easily be applied by a practicing engineer to check whether a certain armour unit is likely to catastrophically fail during a given tsunami event. The improved formula proposed is based on that of Hudson but combining damage progression elements from the Van der Meer formula. The design of structures that only partially fail (i.e. "resilient" or "tenacious" structures) during an extreme level 2 tsunami event should be prioritized in future important protection works. Accordingly, the present paper makes recommendations on the acceptable level of damage for each tsunami level for various types of port installations.

    Sea level rise and an increase in typhoon intensity are two of the expected consequences from future climate change. In the present work a methodology to change the intensity of tropical cyclones in Japan was developed, which can be used to assess the inundation risk to different areas of the country. An example of how this would affect one of the worst typhoons to hit the Tokyo Bay area in the 20th century was thus developed, highlighting the considerable dangers associated with this event, and how current sea defences could be under danger of failing by the end of the 21st century.

    Proceedings of the Coastal Engineering Conference    2012.12

     View Summary

    No formulas currently exist to design armour units against tsunami attack. To develop such formulae, laboratory experiments were carried out to clarify the failure mechanism of these types of structures. Also, the behavior of armour units against real cases of tsunami attack during the 2011 Tohoku tsunami were evaluated. Both the results of the laboratory experiments and the breakwaters studied in the field where then analyzed in terms of well established formulas such as that of Van der Meer or Hudson. The design of structures that only fail partially during a given tsunami event (&quot;resilient&quot; or &quot;tenacious&quot; structures) should be prioritized in future counter-measures, and in order to make it possible to construct such structures a modification of the Hudson formula for their design is proposed.

    The present study focuses on the risks of storm surge caused by future increases in typhoon intensity due to climate change. These risks were analyzed by integrating weather, wave, storm surge and tide prediction systems into a new simulation methodology. This model, which the authors developed by themselves, makes it possible to calculate the weather fields of typhoons in the past as well as in the future on the basis of meteorology and can simulate waves in a complex geographical area, in contrast with many previous storm surge simulation methods which were not based on accurate meteorological models. The model was verified to accurately reproduce historical typhoons and waves and thus is a useful tool for the analysis of future climate risks.

    Climate Change Management     101 - 125  2012.01

     View Summary

    © 2012, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. It is currently feared that the increase in surface sea temperature resulting from increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere could result in an increase in tropical cyclone intensity in the future. Although the economic consequences have been studied for a number of developed countries, very little work has been done on developing countries. The present paper attempts to indicate what are the likely economic effects of this, by using a Monte Carlo simulation that magnifies the intensity of historical tropical cyclones between the years 1978 and 2008. This tropical cyclone model is then coupled with a socioeconomic model that attempts to provide a projection of the likely development course of the Vietnamese economy and society. The simulation shows how annual downtime from tropical cyclones could increase from 0.23 to 0.37% by 2085 which could cause the loss of between 0.015 and 0.035% of GDP growth per year (between 600 bn and 1,400 m USD after factoring in the likely growth in the Vietnamese economy by this time). The effect that this could have on port operations and a preliminary assessment on the potential for increases in direct damage due to high winds are also made, showing a typical 33 to 65% increase for the centre and north of the country.

Field surveys were performed to know tsunami inundation heights and disasters in Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima, Ibaraki and Chiba prefectures. The results of these surveys are reported. Inundation heights were more than 10 m in the north part of Miyagi, 5 to 10 m along the coast of Sendai Bay and around 5 m in Ibaraki and Chiba. Buildings, including reinforced concrete structures, were washed away and ships were stranded in land. Coastal structures such as dikes and coastal forests also suffered extensive damage. Possible evacuation measures are also discussed based on the observations.

     View Summary

    Field surveys were performed in the southwest of Bangladesh after cyclone Sidr in 2007 and in Yangon River Basin after Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar in 2008 in order to learn lessons out of severe disasters due to storm surges. Spatial distributions of inundation heights were measured around the most damaged areas. Both Bangladesh and Myanmar were severely damaged, but the preparedness against storm surge and the experiences were different. The resultant total losses in these two countries were significantly different. In Bangladesh, many people witnessed that storm surges inundated with bore-like waves. Counter measured against storm surges should account for the physical mechanisms for the development of such bore-like waves and possible damages due to such waves. Embankment showed significant roles to minimize the damage. Development of riverbanks especially around the river mouth is one of most essential counter-measures to be carried out in Bangladesh. Shelter functioned well to save significant number of lives in Bangladesh. But in Myanmar, there were few experiences on storm surge and no countermeasures such as shelters. These differences results the difference of losses. They were 4,234 including deaths and unknowns in Bangladesh but 138,366 in Myanmar.

  • Modified Goda formula to simulate sliding of composite caisson breakwater

    Miguel Esteban, Hiroshi Takagi, Tomoya Shibayama

    Proceedings of the Coastal Engineering Conference    2010.12

     View Summary

    Caisson breakwaters can continue to maintain their function if a limited amount of sliding or tilting occurs. Although this has been the focus of much research during the last years, little attention has been paid to the design of composite caisson breakwaters (i.e. caissons protected with armour layers). The present paper outlines laboratory experiments that were carried out to propose a modification of the Goda formula (1974) that takes into account the increased pressures that can be exerted by waves due incomplete armour layers at the seaside face of the caisson. The effect that this modification can have on the expected deformations in the rubble mound after one storm are also evaluated by means of a Monte Carlo Simulation, showing how incomplete armour layers will result in much greater expected vertical movements in the caisson.

    Extensive accumulation of soft mud at the head of Tokyo Bay, Japan, is one of the major causes Of deterioration of water quality and ecosystems. We performed field observation of sediment quality and numerical simulation of sediment accumulation and grain size distribution to reveal the mechanism of its accumulation and provide suggestions for the future restoration strategy in the bay. We reveal the detailed variation in sediment quality and found that one of the causes is attributed to the lower decomposition rate of organic matter clue to the long-term exposure to hypoxic waters along with the higher rate of accumulation of very fine particles reflecting hydrodynamic properties.

    Proceedings of the International Offshore and Polar Engineering Conference     1137 - 1144  2009.12

     View Summary

    Although a lot of attention has been paid to develop formulas and methodologies to assess the effect of wind waves on caisson breakwaters, there is still limited understanding of the loadings due to tsunami waves. More specifically, no methodology exists to determine the effect that a partially destroyed armour layer would have on the overall stability of an armoured caisson breakwater. Although Esteban et al. (2008) developed a method to estimate the deformation of a caisson breakwater subjected to solitary wave attack, this method is known the be greatly influenced by the presence of an armour layer in front on the caisson. Thus, laboratory experiments with solitary waves were carried out to clarify the failure mechanism of an armoured caisson breakwater against a comprehensive range a tsunami type events (bore-type, breaking and non-breaking). The results of the experiments show how the load which is exerted by the caisson onto the foundation depends on the depth of water in front of it, the shape of the armour layer and whether the wave strikes the caisson or the armour layer first. Of particular interest, it was found how the presence of armour (in particular a failed or partially constructed armour layer) can sometimes be detrimental to the stability of the caisson itself.

    COASTAL ENGINEERING 2008, VOLS 1-5     3186 - +  2009

     View Summary

    Breaking waves impacts on vertical or sloping breakwaters are one of the most severe and dangerous loads that maritime structures can suffer. The present study is concerned with a theoretical approach, which is based on the momentum impulse, to simulate the impact pressures of solitary wave exerted on a vertical breakwater. The theoretical impact pressures are determined using varied velocity before impact process. The advancing solitary wave can simply be considered as a two-dimensional mass of water moving toward a vertical rigid wall with initial velocity. The impulse momentum is calculated by using the velocities just in front of the breakwater between the time the impact pressure first begins to act and the time when the forward velocity becomes almost zero. By using precise velocity field, the general mechanism of impact pressure histories on vertical breakwater obtained is more reasonable than those obtained by previous researchers. The simulation results show reasonable agreements with the laboratory data.

  • PROPOSED METHODOLOGY FOR EVALUATING THE POTENTIAL FAILURE RISK FOR EXISTING CAISSON-BREAKWATERS IN A STORM EVENT USING A LEVEL III RELIABILITY-BASED APPROACH

    Hiroshi Takagi, Miguel Esteban, Tomoya Shibayama

    COASTAL ENGINEERING 2008, VOLS 1-5     3655 - +  2009

     View Summary

    In this study, an effective methodology for evaluating the potential failure risk of caisson breakwaters has been developed. In the proposed model, two indexes, ETSD and EFEC, are used to evaluate the sliding failure and bearing capacity failure, respectively. Based on these indices, the degree of damages of the breakwaters can be estimated stochastically and quantitatively. Hence, using this method it is expected that planners will be able to prioritize the implementation of breakwater reinforcements amongst a large number of breakwaters, and designers will be able to better determine appropriate caisson geometries for a given future storm.

    Mohsen Soltanpour, S. Abbas Haghshenas, Tomoya Shibayama

    COASTAL ENGINEERING 2008, VOLS 1-5     2852 - +  2009

     View Summary

    This study presents an integrated wave-mud-current interaction model to simulate energy dissipation of traveling waves over non-rigid muddy beds and mud mass transport in the presence of current. Assuming the water layer to be inviscid with a uniform current field, the governing Navier-Stokes equations are solved for fluid mud sub-layers. The constitutive equations of visco-plastic material are adopted for the fluid mud rheological behavior. The comparison between the wave attenuation and mud mass transport results of the numerical model and the laboratory data of An and Shibayama (1994) shows a good agreement.

     View Summary

    The cyclone &#039;Nargis&#039; hit the southern part of Myanmar on May 2^&lt;nd&gt; and 3^&lt;rd&gt; 2008. This devastating cyclone caused enormous number of casualties as well as fatal damages to houses and paddy fields, particularly both the downstream areas of the Irrawaddy and Yangon Rivers. In the present field survey, thought the activities were limited to the area near Yangon city due to certain government restrictions, it was found that the tide due to the storm surge was probably up to 3-4m around 50 kilometers upstream of the river mouth of Yangon River. According to interviews with the local residents, it also appears that significant flooding took place at inland areas as a result of the upsurge through the tributaries or channels from the main river. Even though the situation was catastrophic, it seems that most residents had not evacuated. One of the reasons for this could be related to the fact that the cyclone passed through the area investigated in the late night to the early morning of May 3^&lt;rd&gt;. Another reason might be because of an underestimation or the lack of perception of the threat of storm surge. Apart from the investigation, the tracks for the present and past cyclones (1945-

    A numerical cross-shore model to simulate two features of wave-mud interaction on fine-grained shore profiles, i.e. fluidization of mud layer and wave height attenuation, is presented. The analytical model of Foda et al. (1993) is used to determine the fluidized depth of mud layer. The wave height transformation is computed from the energy flux conservation law combining the effects of mud bed, shoaling and wave breaking. The rheological constitutive equations of visco-elastic (VE) material are used for numerical simulation of fluid mud behavior. A preliminary application of the model shows its capability to predict wave height transformation along soft muddy profiles. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Breaking waves on coastal structures produce impulse pressures that are high in magnitude and short in duration, compared with pressures exerted by non-breaking waves. The present study is concerned with a theoretical approach, which is based on the momentum impulse, to simulate the impact pressures on a vertical wall. The theoretical impact pressures are determined using varied velocity before impact process. The velocity field in the vicinity of structure is calculated by LES model including turbulence. The necessary coefficient λ* to evaluate impulse pressures is tentatively obtained through a comparison between the laboratory tests and the numerical results. The computational results using the coefficient obtained show time-histories of pressure with nonlinearity rather than linearity considered ever.

    This paper presents a breaking waves model in which the wave boundary layer and the swash zone are also included in the model domain. The model is based on the Reynolds equations for incompressible turbulent flows. The numerical solution of the model is performed in a non-uniform grids system so that high resolution can be obtained in the near-bottom area, where the velocity gradients are very large due to viscous effect. Numerical results of the present model are verified by laboratory data for the surf zone, the bottom boundary layer and the swash zone. The comparisons show that the model can predict reasonably the water motions in the surf zone, the bottom boundary layer and the swash zone.

     View Summary

    A simple model is presented to compute the average rate of energy dissipation in irregular breaking waves. The average rate of energy dissipation rate is assumed to be proportional to the difference between the local mean energy flux and stable energy flux. The local fraction of breaking waves is determine from the derivation of Battles and Janssen (1978). Root mean square wave height deformation is computed from the energy flux conservation. The model is validated using root mean square wave height data from small and large scale laboratory and field experiments. Total 144 wave height profiles are used in the calibration and verification of the model. Reasonable good agreement is obtained between the measured and computed root mean square wave heights. The root mean square relative error of the model is 10.2 %.

The model is based on the two-dimensional vertical (2DV) Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The effect of breaker-generated turbulence is modeled by the Reynolds stress terms in the momentum equations, together with an eddy viscosity model. A transformation technique is utilized to solve numerically the governing equations in a variable grid system. At each time level of computation, it is possible to determine directly the following wave quantities for the surf zone: water surface elevation, pressure field and velocity field. The numerical results are verified with various cases of laboratory data.

     View Summary

    Based on a large amount of published laboratory results, reliable model is developed for computing beach profiles under regular wave actions. The sediment transport is separated into suspended load and bed load. The suspended load is computed as the product of the time-averaged suspended concentration and the time-averaged velocity. The bed load is developed following the similar step as Watanabe (1983) but the applied area is different. The wave model of Dally et al. (1985) is modified and used to compute wave height transformation. The beach profile change is computed from the conservation of sediment mass. The beach deformation model is verified with small scale and large scale experiments. Reasonably good agreement is obtained between measured and computed beach profiles.

    Proceedings of the Coastal Engineering Conference   3   2913 - 2927  1995.01

     View Summary

    A series of wave flume experiments for wave-current-mud system has been performed. The results reveal that the rate of wave attenuation increases in the opposing currents and decreases in the following currents. The results are the same with the waves on the fixed bed. Another important result is that the mud mass transport velocity increases in the opposing currents and decreases in the following currents. The visco-elastic-plastic model which was proposed by Shibayama and An (1993) for wave-mud interaction has further been extended to the wave-current-mud system by taking a wave deformation effect into considerations. The extended model succeeds in predicting the laboratory results. The model shows that due to pressure gradient in wave propagating direction, the largest mud mass transport velocity occurs in the strongest opposing current and the smallest one in the strongest following current.

    The effect of long period wave to local sand transport rate in the surf zone is analyzed by laboratory and numerical experiments. In the laboratory experiment, surface profile, near-bottom velocity and suspended sand concentration are measures simultaneously and resultant net sand transport rate is measured by mass difference during the experimental runs. It appears that the net sand transport rate is determined by three driving forces which are undertow, long wave and short wave. In mild slope condition, the effect of long wave becomes large. In order to simulate this process, a new numerical model is formulated.

     View Summary

    In order to calculate mud transport rate, two forms of transport should be considered, which are (1) mud mass transport in mud layer, and (2) suspended mud transport in water layer. The first type of transport (mass transport in mud layer) is greater than the second one in quantity under soft mud or fluid mud condition, therefore the first type of transport is mainly considered. The previously proposed methods to calculate the first type of transport are summarized and discussed. Then a new transport model called visco-elastic-plastic model is derived and some of the results of the model are shown. The model is based on the assumption that the fluid mud layer can be assumed to be visco-elastic fluid and when the magnitude of stress in mud layer exceeds the value of yield stress, the mud layer is modeled as visco-plastic fluid. Results of the new numerical model are compared with laboratory results and some discussions are given.

    Laboratory experiments were performed in a wave basin to reproduce the local sea bed scour around large-scale maritime structures. Experiments suggested that the mass transport velocity and wave-induced steady currents were essential in modeling sand transport. Based on experimental observations, a numerical model was presented for the local scour around a large circular cylinder. The applicability of the model was confirmed with experiments. Although some discrepancies are still present between experiments and computation, the model seems to provide a basic framework for the local scour around large-scale structures. Future studies are expected on the three-dimensional boundary layer flow as well as on the wave nonlinearity.

    When irregular waves travel to the shoreline, long wave component becomes important in the surf zone. In the surf zone, sands are transported by both wave motion and turbulence due to wave breaking. The wave motion consists of variety of periods of waves from long wave to short wave. In the present study, the role of long wave to local sediment transport rate is analyzed by laboratory experiments and numerical experiments. It is concluded that the long wave component gives a important effect to the local net sand transport rate, in particular in the vicinity of shoreline.

Spatial distributions and time histories of velocity were measured by using a hot film velocimeter with a split type probe or a two components laser doppler velocimeter for regular wave conditions. Typical plunging breakers were formed during the experiments. Based on the experimental results, a model was investigated in order to estimate the two dimensional distribution of the on-offshore steady current below the trough level.

  • SEDIMENT TRANSPORT DUE TO BREAKING WAVES.

    Proceedings of the Coastal Engineering Conference   2   1509 - 1522  1987.01

     View Summary

    In the surf zone, the agitation of the bed materials by breaking waves is strong and the suspended sand concentration in the vicinity of the wave plunging point is extremely high. Sand movement in this region was observed and sand concentration was measured in a wave flume. The sand movement in the region was divided into the following two categories: 1) sand suspension due to the large vortex which is created by wave plunging, and 2) sand deposition under turbulent flow. The condition for exciting this suspension process was considered and the result was well explained by the two parameters which are the deep water wave steepness and the bottom slope. Then a numerical model of the sediment suspension process was formulated and the process was well simulated by the model.

     View Summary

    Laboratory experiments on two dimensional beach transformation were performed under irregular wave conditions. Wave deformations, near bottom velocities, ripple dimensions and beach profile changes were measured. The net sediment transport rate was calculated from beach profile changes. The rate was also obtained by applying the sediment transport model of Shibayama and Horikawa (1985) to individual half wave of irregular wave history. These two results of transport rate were compared and a good agreement was seen.

  •  陸上に氾濫する津波の三次元的挙動解明と減災への応用

    2018   石井秀憲, 高畠知行, Miguel Esteban

     View Summary

     陸上に氾濫した津波では周辺に存在する構造物の遮蔽効果を用いれば、波力を低減できる。水理実験では、津波水槽内で角柱構造物周辺の流速場をPIVを用いて計測し、流速・渦度の時間的・空間的変化を計測した。汀線と平行方向に構造物を配置した場合、浸水深は角柱間の距離に依存して変化し、運動量流束が角柱を設置しない場合と比較して40~140%程度変化した。この他にもいくつか配置を検討し、構造物の配置により運動量流束の最大値が10~140%変化することが解った。 また、乱流モデル(DES)を用いた3次元数値計算により、流速場及び浸水深を再現し、運動量流束の低減効果の高い配置パターンを提示した。この結果は、構造物配置を設計する上で有用である。

  • 首都圏での噴火による火山灰降下分布予測と対策の立案

    2015   大島 優, 山口秀明, 奥村 暖, 田野倉祐介, 菅原 奈津子, 三上貴仁

     View Summary

     メソスケール化学輸送モデルを用いて噴火後迅速に火山灰の降灰範囲を予測し、速報型の予測手法を提案した。噴火後24時間以内に必要な情報を収集し、噴火の翌日から数値計算を行うことで数日間の降灰範囲の予測を行う場合を想定し、これを速報型の予測手法と定義した。この手法を用いて噴火後の降灰範囲を予測することで、全国の自治体に所属する土木技術者が迅速に降灰への対策を講じることが可能となる。具体的にはメソスケール気象予測モデルWRF(Weather Research and Forecasting)と大気化学プロセスが組み込まれたメソスケール領域気象・化学輸送モデルWRF-Chem (Weather Research and Forecasting and Chemistry)を用いている。

  • 沿岸域の高潮・津波災害脆弱性の分析

    2009  

     View Summary

     アジア、アフリカの対象地域に対して既に筆者が構築した広範なネットワークを利用して、具体的な海外現地調査データの集積を行い、各地域の特性を把握し、その結果を基に総合的な防災、環境モニタリングのシステムを検討した。まず、2009年9月初旬に大隈小講堂において「アジアとアフリカにおける沿岸域の防災・環境・管理に関する研究集会」を開催し、ベトナム、インドネシア、タイ、スリランカ、タンザニア、イギリス、日本、カナダなど各国の研究者が沿岸域の防災、環境、マネジメントなどに関するそれぞれの国での最新の研究状況、研究成果について発表した。参加者は途上国や欧米の大学で教鞭をとる研究者たちで、本研究集会の成果により新しい沿岸域研究プロジェクトを開始することを決定した。 また、2009年9月中旬には、上記の研究集会参加所の協力を得て、ベトナムでの現地調査を実施した。その結果、環境変動に伴う高潮・高波被害の変化、高潮・高波対策、および土壌の浸食対策については、海外調査の結果による情報を解析し、環境変動あるいは流域内の浸食量を推定する方法をシステム化するための資料を得た。 一方、2009年9月29日に発生したサモア諸島沖地震津波により,サモア独立国と米領サモアの沿岸部は大きな被害を受けた.本研究では,現地調査と数値計算を実施することにより両国での津波被災の特徴を明らかにした。地震発生から約1カ月後の2009年10月28日から11月1日にかけて,サモア独立国・ウポル島および米領サモア・トゥトゥイラ島の2島において津波痕跡高の測量と被災住民への聞き取り調査を実施した.サモア諸島沿岸には地震発生後20分程度で第一波が襲来し,高さは最大で9m に及び,広い範囲で甚大な被害をもたらした.サモア諸島は島を取り囲むサンゴ礁のリーフの幅が広く,これらのリーフ上で波が砕けながら進んでくる様子がはっきりと見え,沿岸部の住民はいち早く危険に気付き逃げることができた.いくつかの村では津波の挙動を教える教育を実施しており,津波の危険を感じたら安全な場所へ避難するという意識が住民の中に備わっていた.サモア社会の特徴として地域社会の構造が極めて強固であり,酋長であるマタイの権限が強いことが挙げられる.住み慣れた沿岸の居住地を離れ高地への移転を決断した村では,このマタイのリーダーシップというサモア社会の特徴がうまく機能していたと考えられる.
