The experimental study is divided into two parts in terms of regular waves and irregular waves. The hydrodynamic loads acting on the slab are measured by a six component balance and pressures on the bottom of the slab are measured by pressure transducers. It turns out that the vertical lbrce patterns can be considered as impact type and bouyant uplili type. For these two different patterns, time series of the vertical hydrodynamic forcc are measured and analyzed. The influences of wave height, wave period, clearance height of slab on the vertical force arc discussed in detail.展开更多
