Abstract
Design formula for estimating the wave loading on the perforated caisson having two wave chambers is yet available. In this study, the analysis results are presented with the experimental data for the wave force acting on such a breakwater model. Based on the experimental results, it was able to clarify the variation of wave action according to five different wave phases that are associated with peak wave loading at the three vertical walls. Then the force adjustment factor for double-chamber caisson was estimated, similarly as Takahashi and Shimosako (1994), which needs to be further validated with subsequent experiments and practical application in the field.
