Wave impacts on structures with rectangular geometries: Part 1. Seawalls

• A simplified analytical model allows easy exploration of the effect of wave impact on seawalls with different rectangular geometries. • A berm (ditch) is generally beneficial (detrimental) for the slamming loads. • Global impulse and impulse moments are presented. • A simple post-impact model of s...

• A simplified analytical model allows easy exploration of the effect of wave impact on seawalls with different rectangular geometries. • A berm (ditch) is generally beneficial (detrimental) for the slamming loads. • Global impulse and impulse moments are presented. • A simple post-impact model of spray jets is developed and exploited. • The effect of a damaged seawall that is missing a block is presented.
