Abstract

We carried out model experiments to quantitatively elucidate the motion of overtopping waves on a caisson breakwater, with results leading to the development of an empirical model that can evaluate the maximum current velocity and depth of such waves on a breakwater. In addition, we developed a formula for calculating the wave forces acting on breakwater handrails, then confirmed its validity using field experiments.
