- Good agreement between the experimental dynamic pressure and the numerically-calculated using by OpenFOAM and DualSPHysics was observed. This demonstrated that the recorded pressure data by miniatured transducers was reliable. The pressure comparison between the first and second lowest transducers showed that the slope decreased the maximum value of the first peak pressure whereas the pressure values around the second peak were close in magnitude. Furthermore, the slope increased the dynamic pressure of the transducers located at the same level when compared with the gentler slope cases;
- The force comparison between the experimental data and the numerical results demonstrated that the proposed simplified force estimation method and formula can adequately predict the impact force exerted over the entire wall area by integrating the dynamic pressure data;
- The experimental force comparison revealed that the slope reduced the impact force of exerted on the vertical wall. Furthermore, the experimental results exhibited that dynamic pressure exerted at lower levels plays a significant role on the magnitude of the peak impact force. Thus, it can be feasible to predict the impact force of dam-break wave by installing limited pressure transducers on the lower area of the infrastructure wall;
- Regarding the trends and maximum values of impact force between experiments and numerical simulation, the good agreement demonstrated the feasibility of the simplified calculation methodology for the calculation of horizontal resultant force. However, it was shown that the maximum design forces prescribed by the provisions of ASCE-7/22 and SMBTR are conservative;
- A linear fitness was demonstrated between the force reduction ratios and tangent values of bed slopes, which demonstrated to be a reasonable method for developing an equation for the reduction factor. The dimensionless reduction factor and its formula obtained in this study demonstrated a new approach in the hydrodynamic loading study of dam-break flow, which could be extended to other different situations.
