Wave Forces on a Wall Shoreward of the Still-Water Line

Abstract

The Shore Protection Manual (SPM 1984), Section 7.III.4.b, presents an older method for determining wave forces on a wall shoreward of the still-water line. A need was recognized to update the method to incorporate the present state of knowledge on runup and surge forces. The method presented herein uses the results of Cross (1967) for determining forces due to a surge across dry ground, i.e., ground between the still-water line and the wall.
