Abstract
This paper deals with wave forces from short crested waves as compared with two dimensional waves. The investigation comprised measurements of wind wave forces on fixed pontoons in a model, and a comparison of wave crest characteristics of wind waves in model and prototype. The model tests showed that the wave crests have a marked influence on the wave forces. The investigation of model and prototype wave data showed that the crest characteristics of the model waves compared well with that of prototype sea.
