Wave pressure reduction on vertical seawalls / caissons due to an offshore breakwater

Open publisher page 7 citations

Abstract

The technique to reduce the wave loads on seawalls/caissons is gaining momentum around the world. Placing an offshore structure in front of seawall/caisson is expected to reduce the loads on these structures. A series of physical model tests were carried out to examine the order of wave pressure reduction for different height of the breakwater related to the local water depth. One has to be careful, when the crest of the breakwater is immersed with about 17% of the water depth,
