This book was released on 2018-09-19 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hurricane Surge Frequency Estimated for the Gulf Coast of Texas Nineteen hurricanes of record since l9oo are used to derive a surge - frequency relationship representative of the entire Texas Coast. Pure statistical methods were not used because of the small number of recorded hurricanes and the lack of recorded data from early storms. The available data are treated by logic and reasoning to derive probable surge frequencies. A method is preposed for assigning frequencies to water levels of hypothetical hurricanes with various prescribed values of hurricane parameters central pressure index, forward speed, and radius of maxi mum winds. Also a method is presented for estimating surge frequency in inland bays and adjacent regions subject to flooding by hurricanes. Results are presented in tables and curves. As new data become available, the developed curves can be refined. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an investigation of 19 hurricanes of record since 1900, a method was developed for assigning frequencies to water levels of hypothetical hurricanes with various prescribed values of hurricane parameters - central pressure index, forward speed, and radius of maximum winds. A method is also presented for estimating surge frequency in inland bays and adjacent regions subject to flooding by hurricanes. Results are presented in tables and curves. (Author).

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the devastating hurricane seasons of 2004, 2005, and 2008, the stability and serviceability of coastal bridges during and following hurricane events have become a main public concern. Twenty coastal bridges, critical for hurricane evacuation and recovery efforts, in Texas have been identified as vulnerable to hurricane surge and wave action. To accurately assess extreme surges at these bridges, a dimensionless surge response function methodology was adopted. The surge response function defines maximum surge in terms of hurricane meteorological parameters such as hurricane size, intensity, and landfall location. The advantage of this approach is that, given a limited set of discrete hurricane surge data (either observed or simulated), all possible hurricane surges within the meteorological parameter space may be described. In this thesis, we will first present development of the surge response function methodology optimized to include the influence of regional continental shelf geometry. We will then demonstrate surge response function skill for surge prediction by comparing results with surge observations for Hurricanes Carla (1961) and Ike (2008) at several stations along the coast. Finally, we apply the improved surge response function methodology to quantify extreme surges for Texas coastal bridge probability and vulnerability assessment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature was reviewed for open coast storm surge elevations and hydrograph information for design frequency storms for the Florida coastline. The information and data published by several government agencies, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Federal Emergency Management Administration, FEMA, US Army Corps of Engineers, USACE, and Florida Department of Environmental Protection, FEDP were compiled, compared and assessed. Based on this information recommendations are made regarding 50, 100 and 500 year return interval hurricane storm surge hydrographs for use by the Florida Department of Transportation in estimating design flow conditions at its coastal roadways and bridges.
