Abstract
An exact second order theory has been formulated in this paper to calculate the wave forces on offshore structures. Lighthill's method for deep water waves has been extended to shallow water waves. Exact expression for linear velocity potential applicable to the circular cylindrical strcutures for shallow water waves have been used in these calculations. These results have been verified with those obtained by direct perturbation technique reported recently by Rahman and Heaps. It is interesting to note that both the methods yield identical results.
