Abstract

One of the most important types of the environmental loading on a SEAWALL is the wave induced force during the storm conditions. In such conditions, free surface of the water has a time dependent irregular pattern which can be described by either a time series or an energy spectrum. The wave induced pressure on a SEAWALL is random in nature and consequently, the internal forces produced in the body of the SEAWALL have a random temporal change. The flexural moment and shearing force are the most important internal forces which can be minimized by selecting an optimum value for the slope of the SEAWALL. In order to find an OPTIMUM SLOPE which leads to minimizing the wave induced internal forces, a large number of SEAWALLs have been modeled and analyzed subjected to sea waves, using the FE software package, SACS. Different values have been assigned to the slope of the SEAWALL ranging from –45o to+45o with the increments of 5o. It must be noted that 1° increments have been considered in the critical regions. In order to increase the accuracy of the results, the structure’s weight and the hydrostatic pressure have been considered during the analysis. The results of numerical analysis showed that when the slope is 15o, the flexural moment at the base of the SEAWALL is minimized. Hence, it can be concluded that the optimum value for the slope of the studied SEAWALL is 15° which can be adapted for design purposes.
