Abstract

Amplification of wave height at concave corner was investigated by three dimensional hydraulic tests. A typical rubble mound structure was tested with two-layer Tetrapod and the slope of 1:1.5. The irregular waves with Bretschneider-Mitsuyasu spectrum were applied to the tests. The center angles of concave corner were 120 degree, 140 degree and 160 degree. According to the test results, the maximum wave height amplification ratio at concave corner was about 1.5 times of incident wave height among the all test conditions, and the W-shaped wave height distribution was shown.
