Louisiana State University will receive $352,460 in funding from the National Science Foundation under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) for a project grant titled "Collaborative Research: Experimental Quantification of Tsunami-Driven Debris Damming on Structures" set to run from August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2026. The funding will support experimental research at Oregon State University's large wave flume facility to better understand how debris accumulation in front of structures during tsunamis can increase forces on buildings. Experiments will use various debris mixtures to identify the mechanisms by which debris damming occurs and to quantify resulting loads on columns. Additional computational modeling and data sharing will provide new insights into debris interactions and altered flow fields. Outreach and research opportunities for students will also be supported. The project aims to improve tsunami design guidelines and vulnerability assessments through enhanced knowledge of debris damming loads.
