  • 1.  Calculating breaking wave loads on underside of structure.

    Posted 04-16-2025 03:18 PM

    I'm having trouble finding anything on this subject.  It is mandated by ASCE 24-24 and there is a reference to ASCE 7-22 Ch 5.  But, I can't find anything in Ch 5 how to quantify this.

    FEMA  Coastal Construction Manual (FEMA P-55 / Volume II )  Provides the formula and calculations you may be looking for.
