Evaluation of Vibration Characteristics of an Existing Harbor Caisson Structure Using Tugboat Impact Tests and Modal Analysis

Ambient and forced vibration tests are proposed to evaluate dynamic characteristics of a caisson-type breakwater, including natural frequencies and modal damping ratios. The feasibility of a numerical analysis model with fluid-structure-soil interaction effects, which play an important role in evalu...
