A breakwater is a important structure for both calmness of harbor and protection of the port facilities from waves generated from typhoons or wind. This study adopted the rubble mound breakwater, which is one of the most popular type of breakwaters in Korea. Rubble mound breakwater had been designed by considering only static condition previously. Recently, a dynamic wave-load due to waves has been also considered in designing breakwater. In design, the wave-load is assumed as an uniform load which only acts in the front slope of the breakwater. However, the assumption is not applicable in reality. In this study, therefore, a real-time wave-load acting on the breakwater instead of the uniform load is considered, and it is assumed to be acting on the seabed too. Based on the numerical analysis, it is found that there is a significant difference in the maximum settlement compared with the result predicted by the existing design method.

방파제 설계시 고려되는 파랑하중에 대한 설계 방법으로 기존 설계는 정수압만을 고려한 정적해석을 실시하였으며 최근 설계에서는 정정해석과 동적해석을 동시에 실시하고 있다. 하지만 이때의 동적해석 방법은 파랑하중에 의한 파압을 구조물내의 임의의 지점에서만 산정하여 등가파압으로 적용하여 해석을 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 방파제의 경사면뿐만 아니라 해저지반에서의 파압을 추가적으로 고려함과 동시에 등 가파압이 아닌 모든 절점에서의 파압을 산정하여 파압을 적용하였다. 그 결과 현재의 설계법과 본연구의 설계법으로 구한 침하량의 값이 상당한 차이를 나타내고 있다.

The real time movement of the caisson was measured when it was open to the waves during breakwater construction. As a result of measurement, no more settlement after the preloading in condition of designed loading was expected but sudden abnormal settlement took place through whole area of the breakwater when waves occurred by typhoon effect. To clarify the reason of this case, wave of the site has been reproduced and the equivalent wave pressure on the caisson was calculated. The numerical analysis of the effect of wave to the ground had been done. Site measurement data is in accordance with the result of numerical analysis.
