Traditionally, tsunami scour has been studied in laboratory experiments that use solitary waves. However, it has been demonstrated that this type of wave does not represent well a real tsunami (Madsen et al, 2008). In addition, results from field surveys are based on the scour depth after the tsunami event, studying only the maximum flow depth, and ignoring other hydrodynamic features such as velocity and wave period, as well as sediment deposition. The main objective of this research is to estimate maximum tsunami scour around rectangular structures as a function of realistic tsunami variables.<br><br><b>Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): <a href="https://youtu.be/ykb-JyL7lsE">https://youtu.be/ykb-JyL7lsE</a></b></html>}, number={36v}, journal={Coastal Engineering Proceedings}, author={Aranguiz, Rafael and Link, Oscar and Aliaga, Jose and Briones, Oscar and Alarcon, Ruben and Nicolas Gatica}, year={2020}, month={Dec.}, pages={sediment.8} }
