Abstract
Overall wave loading and local hydrodynamic pressure distributions on a platform mat in regular waves for shallow waters are experimentally investigated in order to examine the severity of the nonlinear effects and shallow water effects. Wave focusing phenomenon is observed in th e tests. The measured results may also provide a comparison basis for the theoretical development to consider the nonlinear interaction betw een waves and viscous flow by introducing viscosity into wave theories .
