Abstract
In this new study, the sliding performances of vertical caisson type breakwaters are discussed using the Monte Carlo simulation technique for detail in various conditions, such as, wave characteristics (breaking or non-breaking), caisson type, etc. Horizontally composite breakwaters are also analyzed from the viewpoint of sliding performance of the caisson incorporating wave pressure increase caused by damage to wave-dissipating concrete blocks.
