Abstract
SYNOPSISModel experiments were made on the wave force acting against a wall, when oscillatory waves progressed towards the sloping beach and impinged against the wall. The total wave force F was measured by a newly designed instrument and a non-dimensional wave force coefficient,Cw=F/pgH0Wd (H0: deep water wave height, W: width of the wall, d: water depth at the wall),was related to the beach slope, the relative depth at the wall and the deep water wave steepness. Other informations presented include the standard devitation of the wave force, a relationship between the wave impulse and the momentum of the impinging wave, and also a relationship between the total wave force and the wave pressure at the foot of the wall.
