Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Hydraulic Engineering Date 1989-10-25 Abstract As an alternative to a more or less standard derivation procedure for design wave heights in relatively shallow water, two improvements of the procedure are suggested which lead to less conservative results. These improvements are based on observations of shallow water effects on both the decay of total wave energy density and on the extreme waves in the wave height distribution. Existing semi-empirical formulations to account for these effects are adopted and somewhat further evaluated here. The implications of introducing the improved procedures for the resulting design wave loading on a slender cylinder are indicated.
