BREAKWATER AND QUAY WALL BY HORIZONTAL PLATES

Wave action to breakwater and quay wall by fixed horizontal plates is studied theoretically and experimentally. Transmission and reflection coefficients for breakwater are calculated, which suggest that only fixing the water surface by rigid plate is effective to reduce the transmitted wave for appropriate wave conditions. Pressure distributions to horizontal plate and vertical wall of quay wall show that the plate makes the pressure distribution to vertical wall more uniform than the one without plate and also submerged plates of breakwater and quay wall make the pressure distributions smooth.
