Structural Responses

Solitary waves can evolve into plunging breakers during shoaling, inducing high wave loads on coastal structures. Meanwhile, plunging waves propagate with rapid spatial-temporal variations both in wave geometry and wave kinematics, causing varying forces on structures for different breaking stages (Chan et al., 1995). Although there have been numerous experiments for wave forces on cylinders, to our knowledge no experiments have studied the forces at different breaking stages of a plunging solitary wave. Thus, in our study, experiments are conducted to investigate the force due to a plunging solitary wave impacting a circular cylinder as a function of the wave's phase. Due to these forces, as expected structural responses are induced (Paulsen et al., 2019); to eliminate the effect of the structural response, the equation of motion is proposed to facilitate extracting only the isolated hydrodynamic forces.Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): https://youtu.be/P07Cdlnxe7s

The Waves

Field measurements were done at the Haringvliet barrier to verify the theory that loading on long structures shows a considerable reduction if wave directionality is taken into account instead of calculating with uniform long crested waves. Wave loads were measured with a row of pressure meters at the barrier. Directional parameters of the incoming wave field were calculated from the signals of a 3-component acoustic current meter, mounted 7.5 meter in front of the barrier. These calculations were different from those used for an open sea, since the waves near a reflecting structure are formed by two highly correlated wave fields. The agreement between the results of the measurements and theory is good.

Hurricane Hugo

This paper describes the assessment of waves and wave effects with respect to the design of a jetty at Plymouth, Montserrat, in the eastern Caribbean Sea. A previous jetty was destroyed in 1989 by Hurricane Hugo, and a critical part of the new jetty's design relates to the effects of waves. Particular attention is given to the establishment of design wave conditions. This includes both hurricane and non-hurricane conditions and requires a consideration of wave shoaling and refraction, as well as wave breaking in the vicinity of the jetty. The prediction of design wave loads includes the calculation of drag and inertia forces and an assessment of impact loads due to waves on the underside of the jetty and waves breaking onto the deck. Key words: coastal engineering, coastal structures, hydrodynamics, wave forces, wave impact, waves.
