Abstract

A simplified theory to calculate the total wave pressure exerted on a slope of mound breakwater is proposed. Its applicability is examined by comparing the theory with the results of numerical computations. Discussionis also made on the properties of the pressure attenuation inside the core of breakwater. Throughout this study, it is clarified that the theory will assist the design of a rubble mound breakwater to be built on a soft subsoil by providing an estimate of wave force on the breakwater and the subsoil.
