Abstract
The existing theories describing wave forces on large submerged structures are briefly reviewed. Inertial forces are predominant on submerged structures which have the principal horizontal dimension equal to or larger than the vertical dimension. Wave forces on model submerged structures were determined experimentally and results for several geometrically simple structures are presented.
