Description:

A large-scale physical hydraulic model was constructed in the Large Wave Flume (LWF) at the NHERI-EF at Oregon State University. We measured water surface elevations, horizontal and vertical pressures, and horizontal and vertical forces on an idealized structure. The structure was designed so that it could be incrementally elevated above the bed, and wave conditions were generated when the structure's base was elevated from at grade to 0.28 cm above the still water level (0.40 m).

Description:

Regular, TMA, and transient wave cases were run for conditions with no specimen in the flume (Model Configuration 1) and conditions when the structure was positioned in the flume, with its elevation ranging from at the base of the flume to 68 cm above the flume bed. Each folder corresponds to a different wave event (REG, TMA, or TRAN), with average/ significant wave heights and periods (REG, TMA), or representative amplitude and period (TRAN) listed for each event. Within each event folder, individual trials are named according to the trial and the respective structural air gap, ranging from at the base of the flume (a0=-0.40 m, REG/TMA or a0=-0.25 m, TRAN) to above the still water level (a9=0.28 m, REG/TMA, a9=0.43 m, TRAN)
