| Abstract: | The load of breaking waves distinguishes from the impact of non-breaking waves in the superposition of an additional, transient force of short duration. A simple method is presented to decompose the quasi–static force, the periodic part of the total measured force, and the dynamic component, which is the response of the cylinder due to the additional impact. The method is verified with large-scale model tests. The tests were carried out in the Large Wave Channel (GWK) with a slender, vertical and inclined cylindrical pile located at the end of a 1:10 slope. Finally the impact and the curling factor λ, an empirical coefficient to calculate the height of the impact area, is determined and compared to published data from laboratory deep water experiments. | |
