Abstract
Tests have been conducted to demonstrate the manner in which forces on sea walls vary with obliquity of wave approach. Extreme forces at a normal approach may be at least halved with an angle of 15° but at small angles they can be higher. The velocity of wave impacts has been measured and the formation of impact pressures, with their mitigating factors, discussed. A suggestion is given for a disaster-proof breakwater layout.
