What is Wave Forces on Vertical Breakwaters about?
This document discusses wave forces on vertical coastal structures from breaking waves. It describes different theories that produce varying results and the need for more prototype data. The document outlines three failure modes for such structures and emphasizes the importance of determining pressure distributions from breaking waves, which can exceed 10 times hydrostatic pressure. Two modes of wave impact are described - with and without enclosed air - and their effects on resulting pressures.
