Abstract
The paper briefly presents large scale experiments on wave loading on deck platforms in
exposed jetties performed at GWK, aiming to investigate scale effects due to air
compressibility and structure compliance by comparing with similar experiments carried out at
HR Wallingford. Regular, irregular waves as well as isolated wave groups were used for wave
attacks. Flat deck and deck with lower beams with variable venting were tested. Beside wave
characteristics, pressure on deck, deck displacement and tentatively air content were measured.
