Hydraulic Experiments on Dynamic Response of the Moored Floating Structure under Solitary Wave

Tsunami regarded as a long-period wave is bfought about a submarine earthquake. Tsunami's wave height becomes higher in shallower onshore area. Wave road from Tsunami has much influenced to the motions and mooring tensions of a moored floating structure in onshore area. For this reason, it is very important for submarine works to estimate the dynamic response of a moored floating structure under Tsunami. This study deals with the characteristics of motions and mooring tensions on moored floating rectangular body by means of the hydraulic experiments under solitary wave considered as tsunami.
