Wave impacts breaking against on seawall can cause pressure impulse. In impact
problem, the pressure is in a large magnitude and happen in short duration. The most
significant objective of this study is to model the pressure impulse by waves breaking
against the vertical seawall. This pressure impulse problem can be treated as a twodimensional
boundary value problem. Thus by using Laplace equation and a suitable
boundary conditions to this problem, it can solved by using the separation of variable and
Fourier series method. Then, the effect of the small angle of inclination from the vertical
of structures is investigated. By the end of this study, it is found that the angle of
inclination seawall increase, the pressure impulse also increase. This shows that the angle
of inclination seawall affects the pressure impulse.
