... areas, especially in artificial islands. Recently, failures of gravity seawalls have been caused by storm surges and high waves. Takahashi et al. (2000) has reported that the destruction of parapets by breaking wave force during storm surges caused a large inundation of Yamaguchi Airport. Martinellia...

Further analysis is required for general application of this finding against various types...

... by causing wave dissipation regardless of the incident wave properties, the crest elevation of this protective berm can be increased with artificial blocks up to or over the mean sea level (MSL), such that a protective rubble-mound cover is maintained for the monolithic structure. Takahashi et al. (1990...

.... On the other hand, even if a seawall can withstand the incident wave, there is the case that the seawall is destroyed with toe scour by the tsunami backflow. Therefore, it is necessary to predict the damage due to tsunami to take countermeasures. Takahashi et al. (1991, 1993a, 1993b) stated...

... and Takahashi, 1984). In a laboratory study, Maeno and Takahashi (1984) proposed an empirical relationship between icicle growth and environmental conditions. A model of icicle growth predicting the shape and weight of icicles was recently proposed by Makkonen (1988). It was shown that icicles elongated...
