Abstract
Tsunamis continue to pose an existential threat to lives and infrastructure in many coastal areas around the world. Numerous studies have been conducted in recent decades to better understand the hazards and eventually mitigate risks resulting from tsunamis (Nouri et al., 2010; Palermo et al., 2013; Chock et al., 2013; Goseberg et al., 2013; Nistor et al., 2017; Stolle et al., 2018). One of these hazards is the emergence of deep scour holes around critical infrastructure and other buildings deemed community-essential, which affects their structural integrity and stability, rendering them unusable. Despite its importance, scour is still given limited and simplified consideration in foundation design guidelines related to tsunami hazards (ASCE-7 Chapter 6). This novel experimental study aims to improve the understanding of the time-variant scour process induced by single and consecutive broken solitary waves at large scale.
