Wind Storm and Storm Surge Mitigation
2010This monograph contains 13 technical papers presented at the First International Workshop on Wind Storm and Storm Surge Mitigation Construction: Issues of Storm, Shelter, and Safety, held in Bangladesh in 2005. The papers by U.S. and Bangladeshi scientists and engineers explore the long-term issues of wind storm, storm surge, and public safety in the ...

ABSTRACTSand ridges along the coast of northern Brittany contain alternating beds of coarse and fine to medium sand 4–10 m above normal reach of highest spring tides. They were deposited in the Holocene, largely during the last centuries, by sand charged storm surges. Deformation structures at many levels in these beds have amplitudes of 2–25 cm.

The reader is aware of the human and material losses due to storm surges. Therefore, there is no need to recall in details the tragedy of Holland in 1953, Japan in 1959, Germany in 1962, or all the other floodings which took place in various countries all over the world in the past or most recent years.

Most waves are formed by relatively steady winds blowing over the water surface, but, in some cases, waves can be formed by unusual meteorological events. As an example, squall line surges are caused by the movement of a relatively small atmospheric pressure perturbation at the approximate speed of the waves being generated.

Abstract During the first half of the present century our scientific knowledge of the tides made such rapid advances that it was sufficient to meet virtually all demands made on it of a practical nature. It is perhaps an unpalatable fact that in Great Britain such researches have received little if any financial support from the ...
