Hydrodynamic loading characteristics of coastal twin box-girder bridges subjected to freak waves [PDF]
Coastal bridges are highly vulnerable to extreme wave events, particularly freak waves generated by hurricanes and tsunamis. While most existing studies focus on single bridges, this work numerically investigates the hydrodynamic loads on twin box-girder
