Abstract

Excessive typhoon design is an interesting topic in coastal engineering. To design an excessive typhoon, the most popular method is typhoon path translation, but it may cause unreasonable results sometimes. In this paper, a correction method is introduced by using statistical air pressure map and wind speed map. Longquangang area along the north bank of Hangzhou Bay is taken as the research area here. The designed typhoon path is translated from Typhoon Khanun (2005). After typhoon strength correction and time translation, the result of wind speed and typhoon-induced storm surge seems more reasonable and can be used in coastal engineering, such as dike design and dike risk assessment.
