ABSTRACT Shim, J.-S., Min, I.-K., and Yoon, J.-J., 2017. Hydraulic experiments on sinkable floating storm surge barrier under various wave actions. In: Lee, J.L.; Griffiths, T.; Lotan, A.; Suh, K.-S., and Lee, J. (eds.), The 2nd International Water Safety Symposium. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 79, pp. 184–188. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. A sinkable floating storm surge barrier is a new type of structure designed to reduce coastal disasters from storm surges. This barrier usually lies on the seabed, but its buoyancy allows it to rise up as a seawall when a storm surge occurs. A sinkable floating-type storm surge barrier consists of a buoyant main body connected to a foundation structure on the seabed by a hinge. In this study, the wave forces acting on the barrier were experimentally investigated. To evaluate the wave reflection and transmission from this buoyant floating-type storm surge barrier, hydraulic experiments were performed under regular and irregular wave conditio...
