General information
Wave loads on vertical breakwaters and seawalls have historically been very difficult to predict with confidence, compounded by major uncertainties over the importance, and occurrence, of impulsive loads rather than pulsating (or quasi-static) wave loads. Recent research in the UK, Europe and with collaborators in Japan, have however led to substantial clarification of the prediction of such loads.
Course content
This course will cover:
- an introduction to the types of structures and the types of wave loads;
- methods to predict pulsating wave loads;
- predicting the occurrence of impulsive loads;
- predicting the magnitude of impulsive wave loads;
- the durations of impulsive wave loads;
- how to analyse stability under impulsive loads;
- scaling physical model measurements of impulsive loads;
- wave loads on crown walls;
- changes to wave load advice in BS6349;
- key aspects will be illustrated by case studies and tutorial examples.
By the end of the course, participants will:
- understand the main wave load types
- have a clear view of methods available to predict wave loads
- be familiar with the use of complex and simple wave load predictions, both well-established and new
- be familiar with methods to analyse stability under different load types

Application
Cost:
<p><strong>Standard delegate rate: </strong>£540,00 (including VAT at 20%)</p> <p>Fee is per participant. It includes all documentation, meal(s) and refreshments.</p>
Prerequisites:
This one-day course, for consultants, specialist owners and specialist contractors, will be based on guidance from the European PROVERBS project, significantly clarified and extended by recent Coastal Engineering journal papers by Dr Cuomo and Professor Allsop. Those new methods will form the key part of the course notes.
