Abstract
The characteristics of wave forces are studied based on physical model test s with regular waves. The ratio of obliquely incident wave forces to normal ly incident wave forces on unit length of a vertical wall is related with v arious factors. A linear reduction of the mean force of obliquely incident waves is confirmed with an increase in the relative caisson length. Also th e characteristics of reflection coefficient of diagonal waves are discussed .
