Abstract:The load effects on a coastal bridge due to the impact of a tsunami wave were developed. Three Cascadia Fault
rupture scenarios were considered using the Cornell model and the FVWAVE model to generate the waves for
each scenario. The FVWAVE model for the worst case rupture scenario was used to develop the load effects.
Fluid-structure interaction analysis was conducted with the computational mechanics software LS-DYNA to
create a time-history of the lateral and uplift pressures on the bridge deck. From the pressure data, a time-history
of the lateral and vertical reaction forces on the columns was plotted. The computations were conducted in two
dimensions, but work will continue for three dimensional modeling that will incorporate the applied pressures on
the columns.
