Report Synthesis of Wave Load Design Methods for Coastal Bridges
Several coastal bridges have been destroyed by historic and recent hurricanes. Currently no guidelines exist for the design of bridge superstructures when subjected to the action of waves. This document presents an introduction to weather and hurricanes, fundamental concepts of water waves, and a compilation of available sources of information that contain information related to forces produced by waves acting on engineering structures such as sea walls, suspended walls, and bridge decks. A section on the parameters most relevant to the design of bridge superstructures against hurricane waves is included in this document. This report provides a synthesis of data found in several historical databases and database maintained regularly by government organizations and research laboratories. A methodology to update the database is also presented. A plan of action to develop design methodology is also included and followed by a chapter on benefits of expanding this research beyond the synthesis stage. The document ends with a set of conclusions and recommendations.
