The Role of Uncertainty in the Wave-Caisson-Breakwater Interaction

摘要

Knowledge of the magnitude and behaviour of sea waves at the projectsite is an essential for design of coastal protection structures, however,naturally the waves are complicated by be irregular and random. Hence,in order to assess the uncertainty in the displacements failurespredictions, Monte Carlo simulations are employed to conduct fortyfiverealizations, corresponding to the same energy density spectra(JONSWAP) but employing different random phases. Finally, newparameterization for sliding, that include the uncertainty bounds in theirprediction, are presented.
