Abstract
In accordance with the test results of the hydraulic model test of the embedded steel plate cell breakwater performed before, it has seemed to be apparent that, this method has the prominent superior characteristic such as less reflectivity and much permeability. However, this test was just conducted at the one local seaport named Shimotsu, in Wakayama prefecture, it would be difficult to apply itstest results to the other seaports in Japan equally. Thus, in order to establishthe design method of the embedded steel plate cell breakwater to apply all the seaports in Japan generally, several additional experimental test have been repeated.
Judging from the above tests results, we could acquire the primary proposed formula such as reflectivity ratio, transmission ratio, the velocity flown the cell interfaces, wave force affecting to the cells and vertical wall, etc., and finally we have obtained the basic knowledge for the establishment of the designing method of the embedded steel plate cell breakwater.
