Wave loading on structures

The webinar looks at:

• Wave modelling and wave climates at a project location

• Extreme events, climate change and combined design wave and water level conditions for design

• Nearshore and coastal structures

• Wave structure interaction, and empirical formulae

• Physical model testing and advanced numerical techniques
   

Learning outcomes

• Gain a better awareness of how wave conditions are characterised, and how uncertainty is considered

• Improved understanding of the wave characteristics used in design

• Develop an appreciation of the approaches taken to assess and quantify wave actions on nearshore and coastal structures
   

Intended for

Members who are involved with projects on the coast or have a general interest in the sea.
