Experimental Study on Transmitted Wave Characteristic about Wave Absorbing Slit Caisson Breakwater with Sloping Top Wall in Deep Sea

Abstract

In recent years, there have been an increasing number of projects that adopt “wave absorbing slit caisson breakwater” to reduce construction cost in deep sea. This type of structure tends to receive strong wave force at upright wall. On account of this, there is a case study that replace upright wall with sloping wall, but it has quickened transmitted wave. Accordingly, this study was conducted to elucidate transmitted wave characteristic about “wave absorbing slit caisson breakwater with sloping top wall” of hydraulic model tests. The basic data obtained is expected to be greatly helpful in future breakwater design.
