Wave Loads on Perforated Caisson Breakwaters
The hydraulic performance and wave loads of single screens and chamber systems were investigated within an extensive test programme at the Large Wave Flume (GWK) in Hannover, which is part of the "Forschungszentrum Küste (FZK)", a joint coastal engineering research centre of both Universities Hannover and Braunschweig. In cases where wave transmission has to be completely avoided (e.g. to achieve sufficient operating time of sea ports) single permeable walls do not provide sufficient protection, hence structures with an impermeable wall have to be considered. A comparison of One- and Multi-Chamber-Systems in terms of the reflection properties and the wave loads demonstrates the advantages of systems with more than one wave chamber. The phase lag analysed between front wall and rear wall of One-Chamber-Systems is particularly investigated and discussed. This paper is mainly dealing with wave forces acting on such structures. Due to strong interrelations between wave forces, wave reflection and surface elevation, the two latter aspects will also be considered.
