By using the concept of the joint probability distribution of independent stochastic variables,this paper gives an analysis of the maximum total wave forces on pile groups due to irregular wave action.Methods for calculating the maximum total wave forces on pile groups consi- dering both the wave energy spectrum and the directional wave spectrum are also given in this paper,and special computer programs MAXTOTWAF-PGZ-1 and MAXTOTWAF-PGZ-2 are developed for the purpose of calculation.
