Response Prediction of Concrete Breakwater In Wave Impact Pressure
충격파압에 의한 콘크리트 방파제의 거동 예측
Abstract
The most common failure of breakwater comes from impact wave pressure generated by intense storms. This impact pressure is 10 folds greater than the pressure generated by normal waves. Therefore, the precise knowledge of magnitude of impact wave pressure applied on breakwater and its structural response is crucial for the economical and safe design. However, presently, a precise analysis of breakwater is restricted by insufficient and incorrect consideration of the effect of soil-structure Interaction. 3 major research areas included in this study are (1) theoretical analysis of impact wave pressure, (2) selection of breakwater structure model (3) soil-structure interaction analysis using limit analysis computer program. Based on this analysis, predicted response of concrete breakwater and probable failure location under wave impact pressure are determined.
