Experimental Reaearch Of Wave Loads On Arc Crown Wall

In the design of breakwaters, seawalls, revetments and other constructions to protect overtopping, slope profile dikes are always used. In order to reduce the capacity of sand and stone without influencing overtopping, crown wall is usually set on the dike. How to design wave screen to ensure the stabilization and satisfy the permissive overtopping is an important problem.There are many researches relevant to this, but because of the complexity of the subject, physical model experiments are usually focused on vertical wall. When the head-on profile of wave screen is arc, wave that is nearly breaking or broken hits on the arc structure especially violently. The mechanism is more complex. Many points were set to measure the pressure and integral to get the force.In this paper, Through a three-component balance, wave force at waveward side , bottom of vertical and arc wave screens , which have...
