Wave forces on a curtain-walled breakwater of gravity-type were dealt with experimentally and theoretically. Using the two different super structures such as a rectangular body and a thin wall, characteristics of wave forces on these super structures and submerged mound structures were examined extensively. The thin-wall super structure is adopted as a simplified model of a curtain-walled breakwater. Stability test of the breakwater against waves was also carried out.
From the comparison between the two results regarding wave forces and breakwater displacements, major factors relating to the stability of the breakwater were clarified.
