title = "Numerical evaluation of tsunami impact force acted on a bridge girder during tsunami by using a particle method",
abstract = "On March 11, 2011, the huge Tsunami caused by the great east Japan earthquake devastated the Pacific coast of north-eastern Japan. Many infrastructures including bridges were collapsed by the Tsunami. New generation of Tsunami disaster prevention and mitigation method should be reconsidered toward the next millennium Tsunami. In this study, a stabilized Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) has been utilized for an evaluation of fluid force acted on bridge girders. In addition, a new boundary treatment using a virtual marker and fixed boundary particle is developed to satisfy the slip and no-slip boundary condition for the velocity field and to satisfy the pressure Neumann condition at the same time. The accuracy and efficiencies of our proposed method are validated by comparison between a numerical solution and experimental results. Finally, a simple treatment for the particle method has been introduced to our developed SPH tool to simulate wash out of the bridge girder.",
