Research of Wave Forces of Breakwater in Deep Water Area
Publication: Coastal Engineering 1990
Abstract
The design of breakwater in deep water requires a reliable assessment of the forces, it will be subjected to and full understanding of the behaviour of the structure. Wave forces on a vertical wall caisson of composite breakwater vary with the configuration of the rubble mound foundation as well as the condition of incident waves. If the conditions are very unfavorable, powerful impact breaking wave forces may act on the vertical wall caisson. It is an important subject to clarify the generation conditions of impact breaking wave forces, so that the breakwater under design would not be exposed to a very strong breaking wave force.
