摘要
The wave loads acting on a breakwater resting on seabed include not only the wave force from the wave field around the structure but also the wave-induced seepage pressure acting on the base of breakwater.The latter is also a circumstance load which can not be neglected in engineering design.This paper presents a closed-form analytical solution of wave-induced seep- age pressure acting on the base of breakwater resting on an infinite-depth porous elastic seabed. Based on the Biot's consolidation theory,the soil deformation and the compressibility of pore wa- ter are considered.The water wave pressure on sea bottom is determined by the linear water wave theory.The numerical results of uplifting force and moment caused by the wave-induced seepage pressure are given and the influences of soil deformation and pore water compressibility on the calculation results are discussed.
