Abstract
Low lying coastal communities are most vulnerable to the flooding which causes from sea-level rise (SLR), and extreme coastal flooding events such as hurricanes and tsunami. Notably, the high elevation of sea-levels due to SLR and local tidal conditions could accelerate the damages on the coastal communities. Hard coastal structures such as a submerged breakwater and seawall would consider minimizing the impacts of overland flows to the urban area from the extreme coastal events, but the effectiveness of those hard structures are significantly alter depending on the various waves and sea-level conditions.Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): https://youtu.be/GCOOpB4C3tA

Low lying coastal communities are most vulnerable to the flooding which causes from sea-level rise (SLR), and extreme coastal flooding events such as hurricanes and tsunami
LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS For the research of inundation aspects and impact forces on coastal urban structures, three-dimensional laboratory experiments were conducted in the Large Wave Basin (48.8m long, 26.5m wide, and 2m deep) at Oregon State University to investigate horizontal wave force and the vertical variation of wave pressure of the simplified boxtype urban structures
Three different experimental cases were taken into account as different countermeasure such as submerged breakwater only (SB), seawall only (SW) and submerged breakwater in accompanied with seawall (SBSW) using different sea-levels and wave conditions
