New stability formula for wave-dissipating concrete blocks covering horizontally composite breakwaters
Minoru Hanzawa,Hirokazu Sato,Shigeo Takahashi,Kenichiro Shimosako,Tomotsuka Takayama,Katsutoshi Tanimoto +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new stability formula for wave-dissipating concrete blocks covering horizontally composite breakwaters is proposed after reviewing the existing stability formulae and verified using experimental data.
New optimization method for paddle motion of multi-directional wavemaker
Akira Matsumoto,Minoru Hanzawa +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method, using non-linear least square formulation, to determine individual wave paddle motions of multi-directional wavemaker to improve uniformity, is proposed.

TL;DR: The Indian Ocean Tsunami occurred on 26 December 2004, causing serious damage in the Maldives, which is 2,000 km distant from the epicenter as discussed by the authors, and a post-tsunami survey was carried out from 31 January to...
Journal ArticleDOI
Stability of wave-dissipating concrete blocks of detached breakwaters against tsunami
TL;DR: Hanzawa et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the effect of detached breakwaters made with wave-dissipating concrete blocks such as Tetrapods on tsunami disaster mitigation in Japan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Applicability of CADMAS-SURF to evaluate detached breakwater effects on solitary tsunami wave reduction
TL;DR: In this paper, the applicability of CADMAS-SURF for evaluating the effectiveness of detached breakwaters on a solitary tsunami wave reduction is investigated by comparing the calculated results with those from hydraulic experiments.
