مستخلص: A multiscale model is proposed to assess the impact of wave loading on coastal or inland bridges. The formulation integrates various scales to examine the effects of flooding actions on fluid and structural systems, transitioning from global to local representation scales. The fluid flow was modeled using a turbulent two-phase level set formulation, while the structural system employed the 3D solid mechanics theory. Coupling between subsystems was addressed through an FSI formulation using the ALE moving mesh methodology. The proposed model's validity was confirmed through comparisons with numerical and experimental data from the literature. A parametric study was conducted on wave load characteristics associated with typical flood or tsunami scenarios. This included verifying the wave load formulas from existing codes or refined formulations found in the literature, along with assessing the dynamic amplification's effects on key bridge design variables and the worst loading cases involving bridge uplift and horizontal forces comparable to those typically used in seismic actions. Furthermore, a parametric study was undertaken to examine fluid flow and bridge characteristics, such as bridge elevation, speed, inundation ratio, and bearing system typology. The proposed study aims to identify the worst-case scenarios for bridge deck vulnerability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
