Wave Forces on Square Caissons

G.R. Mogridge, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the forces and overturning moments exerted by waves on large vertical square-section caissons have been measured in the laboratory and an approximate theoretical method is presented which allows the wave loadings on a square caisson to be estimated by means of a simple desk calculation.
