Abstract: Measurements of impact pressures and forces together with simultaneous video records of the wave motion at and in front of caisson breakwaters were performed in a wave flume. Based on the results of this model study, ...

Abstract: Results of large-scale model experiments in a wave flume are discussed. These experiments are concerned with the study of the generation of transient or instantaneous and residual pore pressure in a seabed beneath a caisson ...

Abstract: The foundation of a vertical breakwater or offshore gravity platform may fail due to wave loading. The question is discussed whether liquefaction phenomena in a sandy subsoil, such as the generation of residual excess pore ...
