Hybrid simulation combines the physical testing and computer modeling to analyze the dynamic responses of structures to external impacts (Hakuno et al., 1969). This relatively novel technique has been widely used in earthquake engineering. In the present study, it is extended to analyze the responses of structures to coastal loadings. This paper concerns mainly on the hydrodynamic loading induced by storm surge and tsunami events.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
