Abstract
The aim of this research is to investigate qualitatively the influence of short-crested waves on the scouring around the breakwater through mainly laboratory studies. At first, we succeed to observe clearly in laboratory some sedimentary bed forms such as troughs, holes, triangle bars and longitudinal bars under short-crested wave actions. Then we elucidate the association of their formation mechanism with theory of short-crested waves, and indicate its effect on scouring at the toe of breakwaters. In addition, it is shown that the breaking wave height of short-crested waves is certainly higher than that of two-dimensional standing waves. Finally we demonstrate some facts of failure of breakwater caused by short-crested wave breaking based on some field results.
