Criteria For The Initiation Of Modes Of Response Of A Caisson Subjected To A Breaking Wave Force, Jaw Guei Lin, Chi Chao David Tung
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
This paper concerns problems of a caisson subjected to a breaking wave force: (1) what are the possible modes of response and (2) the conditions initiate into these modes. These two questions have not been studied. The objective of this paper is to answer these two questions. However, the actual response of a caisson that takes place in each mode is not addressed in this study. A caisson placed on a horizontal frictional base, subjected to a concentrated horizontal force of short duration, applied to the seaward side face of the caisson and accompanied by a corresponding uplift force on …
