Abstract:

The first phase of this project, documented in LTRC Final Report 528, developed meteorological/

oceanographic (met/ocean) data for the 100-year storm return period in south Louisiana and presented the

data in a GIS platform known as the Wave and Surge Atlas.

This report documents the second phase of the project that developed met/ocean data for the 5-, 10-, 25-,

and 50-year storm return periods in south Louisiana, extracting the maximum met/ocean data occurring

when hindcasting 50 of the most severe tropical storms/hurricanes that affected Louisiana over the past 160

years, and hindcasting alternative paths for a select number of those storms for a total of 124 hindcasts. This

information has been added to the previously developed Wave and Surge Atlas.

Phase 2 also developed a calculator for solving the wave force equations from

AASHTO’s Guide Specifications for Bridges Vulnerable to Coastal Storms and evaluated

all spans of the bridges identified as potentially vulnerable during Phase 1.
