It is well known that the shape of a large-scale structure has an important influence on its performance and material efficiency. For example, the proper shape of a tall building can reduce wind drag forces and vortices (e.g. Burj Khalifa), the proper shape of a long-span roof can reduce undesirable bending stresses (e.g. Dulles Airport), and the proper shape of a bridge results in efficiency (e.g. Verrazzano Narrows). However, the influence of shape on near-coast structures (such as near-coast bridges, floodbarriers, and free-surface breakwaters) subject to wave action has not been extensively explored. This presentation examines the performance of variously shaped near-coast structures subject to wave actions. Using both experimental and numerical studies, the shapes examined are concave, convex, trapezoid, T-shape, hypar faced, and perforated facades. Overall, this research points to opportunities to enhance our coastal resilience.
This seminar is free and open to the public. Lunch will be available in the Briger Atrium at 11:45 a.m.
