The paper briefly presents large scale experiments on wave loading on deck platforms in exposed jetties performed at GWK, aiming to investigate scale effects due to air compressibility and structure compliance by comparing with similar experiments carried out at HR Wallingford. Regular, irregular waves as well as isolated wave groups were used as wave attacks. Flat deck and deck with lower beams with variable venting were tested. Beside wave characteristics, pressure on deck, deck displacement and tentatively air content were measured.

Abstract
The paper briefly presents large scale experiments on wave loading on deck platforms in exposed jetties performed at GWK, aiming to investigate scale effects due to air compressibility and structure compliance by comparing with similar experiments carried out at HR Wallingford. Regular, irregular waves as well as isolated wave groups were used as wave attacks. Flat deck and deck with lower beams with variable venting were tested.
