Abstract:Local pressures due to water waves were measured at discrete points along the underside of two 1:24 scale model bridges for various water depths and wave heights. One model was of a four-lane slab and beam bridge carrying traffic along two structurally separated lane pairs supported by a common pile bent. The other model was of a trapezoidal box girder bridge with superelevation to seaward. The slab/beam model was geometrically similar to the Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, bridge which was heavily damaged by Hurricane Camille in 1969. The second model was of a proposed interstate connector at Biloxi, Mississippi. Results of the research are presented in dimensionless form for use on geometrically similar bridges.
