Impact Loadings on Vertical Walls in Directional Seas
Recent research under PROVERBS has demonstrated that wave impact loads can cause damage or failure of caisson or blockwork breakwaters. Research studies of wave loadings, pulsating or impact, have generally used only 2 - dimensional wave flume experiments, and so most design methods are strongly biased towards 2-d.
This paper describes results from 3-dimensional wave basin tests by Universities of Naples, Sheffield, and HR Wallingford in the UK Coastal Research Facility (CRF). The aim of the study was to quantify effects on wave pressures or forces of oblique or short-crested wave conditions on simple vertical or composite breakwaters.
This analysis has focussed particularly on wave impact loadings as earlier 2-d tests at Wallingford showed them to be potentially severe for some combinations of foundation level and relative wave conditions. New reduction factors are presented.
