ON THE REFLECTION OF LONG-PERIOD WAVES ON THE DESIGN OF MARITIME STRUCTURES

OVERVIEW OF SPECIAL SESSION “LONG-PERIOD WAVES”

Abstract

Long-period wave problem is selected as the theme of the special session on the design and the construction of maritimes tructures. Firstly, the basic properties of the long-period waves, such as the generation and propagation of long-period waves, the engineering problems on those and the countermeasures against the long-period wave problem, and its reflection on the design maritime structure at present are lectured. The panel discussion for the reflection of long-period waves on the design of maritime structures was opened. The practical problems in the design stage and the direction of the future research on the long-period waves were discussed.
