    Wave actions - dynamic analysis

    Interesting. I have seen that the current force is much bigger than the wave force (combined wave and current force = 1.4 x current force) however I am using the sea current velocity available from published metocean data.That's about 3m/s. Are you saying the storm current could be bigger...

    Wave actions - dynamic analysis

    This is the significant wave therefore it should the 1 in 10 years. This is expected more than a couple of times per year. The maximum wave height which is 1 in 100 years is almost x1.5. You are right 1503-44 this will be a common occurrence during an average storm, with a 5.5s period. My...

    Wave actions - dynamic analysis

    Thank you for the response, this is a quick sketch. The Deck beams are pinned. The rest of the beams are fixed against lateral loads (Type II/ Wind frame). The bottom "columns" are the piles. So they are not continuous. On top of them we have pinned columns of the building (steel frame). I...

    Wave actions - dynamic analysis

    I mean the wave force is applied on the piles. The deck level is above the wave load. On a static analysis (single pile) this is a cantilever with a load applied around mid-height. Moments above deck are 0. On a dynamic analysis, the wave induced displacements generate inertia forces on the...

    Wave actions - dynamic analysis

    Hi everyone, I design a 2-storey steel building on a jetty head which is 100m into the sea. The water depth to seabed is shallow and waves are small (Mean SWL 4m+3m storm surge, Significant wave 2.5m). The jetty is a set of unbraced steel hollow sections (Diameter 457x16) @5m centres. I want...
