The paper seeks to examine hydrodynamic coefficients of a rectangular structure in shallow water and to establish analytical formulae for fast computations. A two-dimensional rectangular profile is considered with the under-bottom clearance assumed to be small compared with structure dimensions and the water depth. Following the method of matched asymptotic expansions, the radiation problem is solved under assumptions of the linear wave theory, by matching two 'outer' flows with the 'inner' flow near the structure edge. Closed asymptotic formulae are obtained for all hydrodynamic coefficients for heave, sway and roll motions. The zero and infinite frequency values of the added mass are examined and formulae are derived intended for quick engineering estimations. Numerical results compare well with those published in literature, and the approach is shown to be consistent with known fundamental relations in the body-wave interaction theory.
