In the light of typical cases,the distribution characteristics of the wave forces exerted on semi-circular breakw aters by irregular waves are studied.It is pointed out that whether the waves going through the top of the breakwater are broken or not will produce a great impact on wave force value.Furthermore,the reasonable holing methods and the formulae to calculate the design wave forces are also proposed.
