Abstract
In this study, hydraulic model tests were conducted to investigate the effect of a horizontal damping plate on the motion of the pontoon-type floating structure. The floating structures with and without the horizontal damping plates were fabricated with the scale of 1/20 and their motion responses to the regular and irregular wave conditions were investigated. From the comparison for the responses of each model with 16 wave conditions, it could be known that the damping plate made the response of the the pontoon to be smaller by about 5 to 10 % compared with the normal rectangular pontoon.
