Abstract

The scour due to the highly turbulent tsunami inundation is also a major threat to nearshore infrastructure [Nakamura, et al., 2008]. Research on local sediment erosion during tsunami events has shown a correlation between scour formation, pore pressure variations, and soil liquefaction [Mioduszewski and Maeno, 2003]. To understand the structures’ capacity to withstand the tsunami bores, it is critical to assess scour formation and pore pressure variations around their foundations [Macabuag et al., 2018, Nicholas et al., 2020; Mehrzad et at. 2021]. Young et al. (2008) conducted laboratory experiments to study tsunami induced liquefaction failure on a sand bed with two different slopes of 1V:5H and 1V:15H. The correlation between soil liquefaction and scour showed a direct link with bed slope and pore pressure and the peak pressure increased as the bed slope increased. Concerning the hydrodynamic forcing factor, research conducted by [Chanson, 2006] showed that the hydrodynamic characteristics of tsunami inundation can be adequately modeled using dam-break waves. The prime objective of this study was to comprehensively investigate the interaction of a wide range of hydrodynamic conditions and beach slopes on the variation of the pore pressure and associated scour.
