Abstract
The evaluation of wave forces acting on caisson breakwaters with deformed wave-dissipating works is important from the view point of caisson sliding. Wave pressures and wave forces acting on caisson breakwaters were measured to investigate the effect of the deformation of the wave-dissipating works on wave pressures and wave forces. Several cross sections of wave-dissipating works defined based on the previous study. When the crown of wave-dissipating work settles near the still water level, the impulsive wave pressure occurs and leads to increase in wave force. This wave force increases with progress of wave-dissipating works deformation indicated with a settlement of crown and decrease in the width of wave-dissipating works.
