ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The unified formula of wave forces on vertical wall presented by Gada is suitable for every wave pattem and every wave condition, also is widely used in Japan and European countries. The formula of wave forces on vertical wall given by Chinese Code of Hydrology for Sea Harbour is different from Goda’s formula in representing forms and useful conditions. According to the comparison of wave forces on vertical wall calculated by two methods for every wave pattem and every wave condition, the differences between Goda’s formula and Chinese code’s formula are discussed. It is useful for coastal project design and standard revision.
