RR468 – Nonlinear potential flow forcing: the ringing of concrete gravity based structures

This report represents a summary of a larger report that describes a substantial programme of work concerning the nonlinear potential flow loads acting on single and multiple column structures. In particular, the report addresses the issue of structural ringing, or transient structural deflections occurring at frequencies well above the incident wave frequencies. The work has involved both theoretical modelling and experimental observations.
