Book Description
Weggel's (1981) method for calculating water wave forces on smooth, vertical walls is experimentally verified for an intermediate-length, non-breaking wave which approaches the structure at several small angles of incidence. Mach-stem reflection data is verified with respect to results from Perroud (1957) and Nielsen (1962). Cnoidal wave theory is applied to measured wave data to create pressure distributions, which are verified by measured pressure values. The cnoidal pressure distributions are graphically integrated to produce force values which are compared to values generated by Weggel's method. (Author).

Book Description
The purpose of the paper is to examine theories and data related to wave pressures induced on a vertical seawall by the impingement of water waves which have broken seaward of the wall. The report compares the six articles found by the writer, which relate directly to this subject. Each of the independent studies is reviewed briefly in regard to its purpose, test procedure, theory proposed, test results and conclusions. Comparison of data and theory of the studies is then made.

Forces Induced by Breaking Waves on a Vertical Wall

Book Description
Analyses are presented of two-dimensional laboratory measurements of the forces induced by breaking waves on a vertical barrier placed on a plane with a one-to-ten slope. The deepwater wave heights ranged from 0.2 to 0.6 foot and their periods ranged from 1.9 to 3.3 seconds. The ratio between the depth of water in front of the barrier and the deepwater wave length was approximately 0.0115. The forces on the barrier in this study are usually characterized by a peak, which occurs immediately after the initial impact. The impulse of the peak is usually a small percentage of the cumulative impulse up to the time of momentum reversal. After this short-duration peak, the force decreases exponentially until after an appreciable part of the wave period - about one-sixth, depending on the wave steepness - when it rises again to a (second) maximum which occurs at the time of momentum reversal. This maximum in the force is approximately equal to the average force from the time of initial impact to the time of this maximum of rise (momentum reversal). (Author).

Book Description
Analyses are presented of two-dimensional laboratory measurements of the forces induced by breaking waves on a vertical barrier placed on a plane with a one-to-ten slope. When a wave breaks on the barrier its momentum, calculated by use of the solitary wave theory, is found to be in substantial agreement with the impulse (force times time) on the barrier, measured from the initial impact to the time of momentum reversed (maximum of rise).
