Seismic actions: time displacement imposed at the base of the model, av/ah = 0.4
Wave actions: time-dependent point forces resulted from the hydraulic test
Model size: classical limit conditions, no use of the special absorbent boundary
model large enough (200 x 700 m earthquake, 300 x 1000 m storm)

Main results:
linear increase of displacements after only 200 s (first peak effort at 350 s)
rapid pore pressure built-up to PPR ~ 1
early onset and rapid development & extension of liquefied / critical zones
HS vs. UBC: HSM OK, UBC = failure radical change in the conclusion
Difficulty to simulate the cyclic mobility of dense sands limit of the model
Wave vs. Earthquake differences: duration (h / s), number of cycles (hundreds / tens),
frequency (0.1Hz / ~ 1 Hz), stress path validity of the model
Undrained behavior during storms: unrepresentative and pessimiste assumption
(partial drainage and soil compaction for the duration of the storm) limit of the
computation method & software
Conclusions :
o Necessity of such advanced study in this context
o Stability of the breakwater under the design earthquake
o Necessity of an another approach for wave computation
