摘要：
A small-scale field experiment was conducted on a U-OWC incorporated into a model of caisson breakwater at the NOEL laboratory of Reggio Calabria (Italy). The U-Oscillating Water Column (U-OWC) or REWEC (REsonant Wave Energy Converter) is a device belonging to the family of OWCs. Such a device is very innovative, being able to absorb a very percentage of incoming sea waves and to produce electrical energy via proper PTO. The focus of the paper has been the analysis of the impact wave loads acting on the modified U-OWC structure during extreme wave events. It has been observed the occurrence of both "quasi-standing wave" loads due to non-breaking waves and "impulsive wave loads" with different wave impacts exerted by a wave breaking against the U-OWC model.
