This paper reviews the common theories for determining the magnitude and distribution of wave forces on vertical walls and sloping, rubble-mound breakwaters and compares these theories, selecting the best available for use. The results of the better theories are compared with experimental data, and an outline is given of experimental investigations considered necessary to obtain data sufficient for the design of economical and safe breakwaters.
