Title: Oscillatory Motions and Permanent Displacements of Caisson Breakwaters Subject to Impulsive Breaking Wave Loads
Abstract: Small-scale model tests were recently conducted in a wave flume at the University of Hannover in order to study in more detail the relationship between impulsive loading induced by waves breaking on a caisson breakwater and subsequent displacements of the latter. These experiments are briefly described and some first results are discussed. Thereby, particular emphasis is put on the relationships between (i) oscillatory motions and permanent displacements, (ii) wave loading and oscillatory motions and (iii) wave loading and permanent displacements.
