The potential hazard to bridges from a tsunami event may include inundation hazard to the traffic, force effect on the structure, erosion of the foundation caused by hydraulic load on soils or rocks, and erosion of the approach. This study uses a laboratory-validated hybrid numerical scheme that combines Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with sediment transport analysis to provide a practical evaluation method for scour depth at bridge foundations
