Shock Pressures Exerted by Breaking Waves on Breakwaters
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 126, Issue 4
Abstract
The results of the studies from April, 1956 to March, 1959 of the shock, pressures exerted by breaking waves on composite-type breakwaters are presented. Such hitherto unknown problems as relationships between wave profiles, and pressures from instant to instant in plunging of breaking waves into, the breakwaters, the velocities of water particles in the breakers, and the behavior, of air bubbles entrained in them, were clarified by the synchronised, use of a 16 mm high speed movie taken at 3,000 frames per sec and an electro, magnetic oscillograph. A formula for the prediction of the maximum, shock pressures and the maximum resultant pressure per unit length of breakwaters, were derived.
