AbstractThere is a debate over whether the sea-crossing bridges undergo dynamic motions when exposed to wave loads. In order to verify the dynamic effect of the tower of sea-crossing bridge under wave load, an experimental study on dynamic effect of a freestanding tower of sea-crossing bridge is accomplished in this paper. Firstly, a test model for a typical bridge tower of pile group foundation under wave load is established by using a scale of 1:100. Secondly, a typical sea condition is designed for the response test of the bridge tower under wave load. The test results indicated that obvious vibration of top the tower occurs when the wave load period is close to the natural vibration period of the structure, and both displacement and base shear are amplified. The results in this paper will provide an important reference for whether the dynamic effect of wave load should be considered in the designs of bridge structure under wave load.

A shallow-draft full-form ship is a particular type of ship with a breadth-to-draft ratio higher than is conventional. To investigate the characteristics of such full forms in response to hull vibrations induced by waves, a special computer program based on the hydroelasticity theory of ships has been developed. In addition, an experimental investigation using a segmented elastic-keel model of the ship has been carried out in order to verify the theoretical calculations. It is found from calculation of the wave loads that the dynamic responses of this specific hull form cannot be accurately predicted by strip theory. It is concluded therefore that hydroelasticity theory should be used in the design of the hull structure.
