Abstract: For the unconventional type of parapet slab structures configured by the boundary conditions of practical project, the usual methods to calculate the wave forces acting on the parapet are not still suitable in analyzing the force effects. In this paper by means of profile model test in wave channel, the wave forces exerted on the parapet structure with low elevation and long slab are measured. Moreover the characters of forces on such structure are also well summarized.
