Abstract
A wave dissipating pile support sutructure with a permeable pile wall and wave chamber has the advantage of low wave reflection. Experiments were conducted to investigate characteristics of the reflection coefficients for structures. The results of the experiments indicate that the reflection coefficients are influenced by pile section type. A practical calculation method is derived for the prediction of refrection coefficients of the structure on the basis of Tanimoto's theory for the wave dissipating caisson.
