SIMULATION OF SCOURING AROUND A VERTICAL CYLINDER DUE TO TSUNAMI [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2017
* Corresponding author radianta@ugm.ac.id ABSTRACT Local scour due to tsunami is damaging especially on shallow foundation. Although relatively in a short duration, tsunami attack may scour material around buildings that led to destruction. A number of

Using participatory scenario planning to explore the synergies and trade‐offs from upland treescape expansion

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The future of land use in the UK uplands is highly debated, with growing interest in increasing tree cover and other land use changes, alongside a desire to maintain traditional land use patterns and practices. Treescape expansion is likely to result in synergies and trade‐offs between different outcomes, so integrating stakeholder preferences

Pier shape and alignment effects on local scour [PDF]

, 2014
Bridge piers may have several horizontal shapes and be built with different alignment angles towards the flow direction. The effects of pier shape and alignment have been studied by only a few researchers, the most well-known being Laursen and Toch [1956]

Remote sensing and citizen science for habitat mapping: A machine learning approach to lowland heathland in Surrey, UK

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In a time of extensive global biodiversity loss, conservation efforts increasingly rely on high‐resolution, accurate, up‐to‐date habitat maps to guide decision‐making and strategic interventions. Many products have been developed in response, using machine learning (ML) methods to automate habitat classification, often relying on satellite ...

Rewilding's technological experiments: Virtual reality and scalable narratives of rewilding in the Scottish highlands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Depictions of rewilded landscapes reveal the underlying principles shaping the future of rewilding. This paper analyses a virtual reality (VR) model of a rewilding project in the Scottish Highlands that is advertised as a vision of a rewilded nature in 50 to 100 years' time.

Assessment of the impacts of local scour at bridge piers on the stability of ice jams – An experimental study

Hydrology Research
Local scour at the bottom of bridge piers further affects the stability of ice jams. In this study, the experimental study on the influence of local scour on the stability of ice jams at the pier was carried out, and the test conditions of different ...

Additive Manufacturing of Glass Fiber‐Reinforced Polypropylene and Its Behavior Under Controlled Hydrogen Exposure

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Experimental and numerical assessment of GFRPP under lower experimental hydrogen pressures using tensile testing, SEM analysis, and hydrogen uptake estimation. ABSTRACT Glass fiber‐reinforced polypropylene (GFRPP) composites are increasingly explored for hydrogen transport and storage due to their lightweight nature and corrosion resistance.

Clear-water scour at single piers and pile groups [PDF]

, 2013
The major damage to bridges at river crossings occurs during floods. Damage is caused for various reasons, one of the main reasons being the riverbed scour at bridge foundations.
