Abstract

Authors carried out hydraulic experiments to clarify the relationship between tsunami fluid force and tsunami velocity acting on a bridge deck subjected to surging breaker bores, plunging breaker bores, waves whose surface inclination is mild slope, and breaker bores with a bridge deck sets up under the still water level. Experimental results show the mechanism that the height of a bridge deck to a tsunami height with meanings of variation of surface inclination of waves causes a significant difference of wave velocity. In addition, it causes variation of Froude number, and leads differences of horizontal and vertical fluid forces acting on a bridge deck.
