Experimental Setup for a Large-Scale Bridge Superstructure Model Subjected to Waves

J. Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Eng. Volume 137, Issue 1, pp. 3-11 (January/February 2011)

Issue Date: January/February 2011

To gain a better understanding of the wave forces that led to the failure of numerous causeway-type coastal highway bridges along the U.S. Gulf coast, a series of experiments was conducted on a realistic, 1:5 scale reinforced concrete bridge superstructure. The experimental setup is unique compared to other wave-in-deck studies in that the stiffness of the horizontal support system can be varied to represent different dynamic properties of the bridge system.
