An experimental study of a quasi-impulsive backwards wave force associated with secondary load cycle on a vertical cylinder

Steep wave breaking on vertical cylinder (a typical foundation supporting offshore wind turbines) will induce slam loads. Many questions on the important violent wave loading and the associated secondary load cycle still remain unanswered. We use laboratory experiments with unidirectional waves to i...
