WAVE LOADING, OVERTOPPING AND TRANSMISSION OF LOW CREST CAISSON BREAKWATERS Giovanni Cuomo1, Andrea Polidoro1,2, Elettra Pasquini3, John Alderson1, David Robinson1, William Allsop1 and Scott Dunn1 Recent LNG projects have pointed out the efficiency of low crested caissons breakwaters in providing shelter from waves to LNG terminals during frequent conditions whilst allowing for wave overtopping / transmission during most severe storms, reducing the design loads and therefore the overall cost of the breakwater. Unfortunately, little is known on hydrodynamic behaviour and loading of low crested structures heavily overtopped by long waves and use of existing design codes generally leads to over-design and excessive construction costs. Bearing this in mind, both physical and numerical models have been successfully applied to investigate wave-structure interaction problems and in particular to improve accuracy and increase confidence in the estimations of wave loading, wave overtopping and transmission over low crested structures. Tentative semi-empirical formulas are presented for wave overtopping and wave transmission based on new experimental data.
INTRODUCTION
Many recent LNG projects have required dedicated terminals, often sheltered by a dedicated breakwater. As shelter for loading / offloading operations is only required over relatively non-extreme wave conditions, the breakwater can be tuned to limit wave transmission during frequent conditions whilst allowing for wave overtopping / transmission during most severe storms. This reduces design loads on the caisson, and therefore the overall cost of the breakwater. Given the scarcity of details provided in design codes, a series of numerical and physical model studies have been completed with the aim of developing new guidance on: • Influence of crest width on wave transmission • Reflection coefficients for submerged crest structures • Vertical uplift / downward pressures during significant overtopping events • Effect of reducing crest level and caisson width on: o Loading / stability o Wave transmission Previous work
Wave transmission over caisson breakwater was firstly investigated by Goda (1969) who derived a prediction method based on measurements from physical model tests performed using regular waves. Goda’s original work was later extended by Takahashi (1996) who suggests that the above formulation is still 1
