Japanese to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering biophysics
I am currently translating a paper on the effect of tsunami on embankments. Can some one explain the term 山側のり肩部in the following sentence?

この水理模型実験により得られた津波による盛土への作用力のうち,津波越流時に山側のり肩部に発生する負圧と,波高・波形・流速等の関係に着目した結果について述べる.

ここでの「山側」は、海とは反対の側という意味で、実際に山がなくても山側と言います。
文脈で東西南北がわかるならば、例えば海が西側なら東側になるし、海が南側なら北側になります。

これも文脈次第ですが津波の流れの下流側になるのならば、そのような表現も可能ではないでしょうか。

top of the landward slope/dike crest of the landward side

Kato et al. (2007) showed patterns of coastal dike failure due to tsunami including destruction of the parapet during tsunami runup and backwash, and scouring at the landward slope and seaward toe.
