This paper deals with the conception, construction, evaluation and application for a unique set of electronic sensors for determining wave heights and profile and the forces applied by such waves to varying size and scale components typical of offshore structures. In dealing with the design of structures to withstand wave forces, the tendency of the engineer is to everdesign; i.e., use a large factor of safety, since the criteria in this field is derived largely from experience and empirical data. In an effort to more closely define the relationship between wave weights, lenght, period, depth, and the forces exhibited by these waves on structural shape, a model extrapolating such forces to prototype size. This report deals with the instrumentation for determining the wave parameters and forces on cylindrical piles. All waves generated were of the shallow-water type; i.e., the ratio of wave length to still-water depth was greater than 2.0.
