3. Estimate the 10-2 – annual probability base shear of the pile structure using the various
kinematics models of 2) above. Select 3 diameters: drag dominated case, inertia
dominated case and a case with similar contributions from both terms.
4. Establish a simulation tool for Gaussian - and second order surface processes and second
order wave induced kinematics. Verify kinematics by comparing with Stokes 5 th results
for some Stokes 5th like events in the simulated process. It is recommended that the
Stansberg approach is applied for the kinematics. The length of the simulation must be
decided in view of the times it takes to execute the simulations.
* Linear theory: Do a number (20) of 3-hour time domain simulations. Identify the wave
event with a crest height corresponding to an exceedance probability of 0.1 for this sea
state. If the Gaussian sea state were a correct assumption, this would be a good estimate
for the 10-2 annual probability crest height. Estimate the particle speed under the wave
crest the selected wave event. (If simulation length 3 hours takes too long time,
simulation length can be reduced or we can modify simulation approach by selecting
fewer components.)
