The hydroelastic responses of a VLFS (very-long floating structure) placed behind a reverse T-shape freely floating breakwater with a built-in OWC (oscillating water column) chamber are analyzed in two dimensions. The Bernoulli-Euler beam equation is coupled with the equations of rigid and elastic motions of the breakwater and the VLFS. The interaction of waves between the floating rigid breakwater and the elastic VLFS is formulated in a consistent manner. It has been shown numerically that the structural deflections of the VLFS can be reduced significantly by a suitably designed reverse T-shape floating breakwater.
