Abstract
This paper describes model tests on collisions between a ship and sloping structures and offers a useful method for estimating the ship stopping ability of the sloping structures. The two slope models, referred to as the hard slope (FRP plate) and the soft slope (shingle mound), were used to the model tests. As the first approximation on the estimation of stopping distance, it may be treated as the collision between the rigid ship body and the hard slope. And also, it may be able to replace the problem of collision against the soft slope such as the mound slope with that against a easy slope of hard structure. From the results of these model tests, author made sure of availability on the method for calculating the ship stopping distance of sloping structures.
