WAVE FORCES ON PILES: A DIFFRACTION THEORY

Abstract

Although circular piling is a much-used structural element in shore protection, harbor, and other maritime structures, only recently have significant advances been made toward gaining a quantitative understanding of the forces developed by wave action against piling. The present report deals with this subject.
