Abstract

When a storm is happened, such seawall structures as the composite breakwaters with vertical wall are subjected to produce impulsive forces due to breaking waves. And, the front face of seawall structures is locally damaged by the collision of precast concrete units placed in front of the vertical wall. To reduce the local damage on the concrete face, this study examines the oscillating and colliding behaviors of precast concrete units and evaluates the impulsive force on the wall. The impulsive forces produced by the collision of precast concrete units and behaviors of precast concrete units could evaluate by the hydraulic tests of the1/36 scaled models.
