TL;DR: In this article, a model study has been carried out to investigate the slamming effect on horizontal slabs using regular waves at different frequencies with the measurement of vertical forces, and a modified slamming coefficient independent of frequency has been suggested to be used conveniently for design purposes.

Abstract: This paper analyses different wave height concepts used in the literature and discusses some common problems associated with the determination of design wave heights, such as selection of parametric models and estimation. The authors analyze common methods (peak values, peaks over a threshold, yearly maximum, etc) used in fitting wave data and point out the problems associated with some of the commonly used distributions. The use of significant wave heights for design values is analyzed and discussed. It is shown that significant wave heights have practically no individual information about the tail behaviour of wave heights and individual wave heights are proposed as an alternative. The use of the generalized Pareto distribution for fitting wave height exceedances over high thresholds is proposed and justified and an estimation method is given. Finally, the Kodiak data set is used as an example to illustrate the methodology.

11 Aug 1995TL;DR: In this article, the appearance probability of the freak wave is theoretically introduced applying the definitions by Klinting and Sand (1987), and three conditions are formulated theoretically applying the probability distributions for the run of wave heights and the distance of a mean point of the zero-crossing wave crest and trough from mean water level.
Abstract: In this study, the appearance probability of the freak waves is theoretically introduced applying the definitions by Klinting and Sand (1987). Their three conditions are formulated theoretically applying the probability distributions for the run of wave heights (Kimura,1980) and the distance of a mean point of the zero-crossing wave crest and trough from mean water level (Kimura and Ohta, 1992b). Its appearance probability in a uni-directional irregular wave condition is studied first, the theory is extended then to the 3-dimensional wave condition, and the definition is discussed in terms of the probability in the last.
