Physical experiments were conducted to establish an empirical formula that predicts the wave force on the upside of the pavement behind crown wall of rubble mound seawall due to wave overtopping as well as the uplift force on the downside of the pavement. The experiments were performed by different conditions of the parapet, water depth, relative freeboard, and thickness of the armour layer. Then, the wave force on the upside and downside of the pavement behind the crown wall was analyzed. The parameters that affect the wave overtopping force and the uplift force were identified and empirical formulae were suggested for evaluating the forces on the pavement.

The crown wall with parapet on top of the rubble mound breakwater represents a relatively economic and efficient solution to reduce the wave overtopping discharge. However, the inclusion of parapet leads to increased wave pressure on the crown wall. The wave pressure on the crown wall is investigated by physical model test. To design the crown wall the wave loads should be available, and the horizontal wave pressure is still unclear. Regarding to the horizontal wave pressure on the crown wall, a series of experiments were conducted by changing the rubble mound type structure and the wave conditions. Based on these results, pressure modification factors of Goda's (1974, 2010) formula have been suggested, which can be applicable for the practical design of the crown wall of the rubble-mound breakwater covered by tetrapods.

Submerged rubble structures include artificial reef and the mound part of the rubble mound breakwater. Artificial reef is a type of the submerged wave absorbing structure installed in a coastal zone to prevent beach erosion and designed to initially reduce the energy of incoming waves so that its run-up height and overtopping quantity can be decreased. In order to ascertain the stability of such submerged rubble structures, minimum weight of the rubble has to be calculated first from the incoming wave height using Hudson's formula or Brebner-Donnelly formula. Based on the calculated minimum weight, a model is built for use in a hydraulic model test carried out to check its stability. The foregoing two formulas used to calculate the minimum weight are empirically derived formulas based on the result of the tests on the rubble mound breakwater and it is, therefore, difficult for us to apply them directly in the calculation of the minimum weight of the submerged structures. Accordingly, this study comes up with a numerical simulation method capable of deformation analysis for rubble structures. This study also tries to identify the deformation mechanism of the submerged rubble structures using the numerical simulation. The method researched through this study will be sufficient for use for usual preparations of the design guidelines for submerged rubble structures.

본 논문에서는 국내 및 국외에서 항만 구조물 설계시 적용되는 월파량 산정식을 고찰해 보고 각각의 식에 대한 특성을 비교하였다. 일반적으로 항만구조물 설계시 대부분 구조물에 직각으로 입사하는 조건을 대상으로 하여 각종 설계 인자를 계산한 후 설계에 적용하게 된다. 그렇지만 실제 항만구조물 설계시 경사입사파 조건에 대한 검토가 필요한 경우가 발생한다. 이는 일반적으로 경사입사파 내습시 직각입사파 조건에 비하여 월파량이 저감되므로 경제적인 설계를 위해서는 필요한 사항이다. 본 논문에서는 기존 직립제에 대한 월파량 산정식의 비교 및 분석을 하였다. 그리고 국내 월파량 산정식의 개선점을 고찰해 보고자 한다.
