HYDRODYNAMIC LOAD ON THE BUILDING CAUSED BY OVERTOPPING WAVES [PDF]

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2012
Wide crested dike can reduce the kinetic energy of the overtopping wave and make the overtopping wave to flow back to the seaside. If a coastal town were built on or near a dike, the overtopping wave running on the dike crest generates the force which can affect the buildings located in its path.

Development of Next‐Generation Flood Inundation Maps: A Case Study in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Flood inundation mapping has become a critical reference for flood risk management, particularly for determining insurance premiums and formulating mitigation strategies in rapidly urbanizing areas with high population density. With recent advancements in mapping technologies and high computing capacity, high‐resolution spatiotemporal datasets

Influence of the Uncertainty in the Dam‐Breach Hydrograph on the Flood Hazard Assessment in a Valley Area

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The reliability of flood event simulations is a crucial aspect in terms of saving lives. The worst flood scenarios derive from possible dam failures. For earthen dams, the breaching mechanism, triggered by overtopping or piping, is affected by several modelling uncertainties, which propagate downstream and may influence flood hazard mapping ...

Coral size patterns across environmental gradients and morphologies

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Coral reefs are essential ecosystems that provide important ecological services and support the livelihoods of millions of people worldwide. Understanding the size structure of coral populations is critical for assessing recovery potential; yet, our knowledge of how environmental conditions influence coral size structure, across a range of ...

Flood Risk Management Using Representative Hillslopes: Insights From a Historical Flood in Southwest Germany

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.
A coupled hydrologic and hydraulic modelling framework relying on representative hillslope models and scaled using hydraulic routing schemes is proposed to simulate Hortonian overland flow at intermediate scales. Using a reconstructed historic summer storm in southwest Germany (1994), we show how hillslope scale nature‐based flood prevention measures ...
