An inclined slit wall caisson has the combined structure of a vertical slit caisson and an inclined wall caisson on top of it. It is developed to reduce the resultant force acting on a caisson body and to improve the body stability by utilizing the phase difference in the waves acting on it. In estimating the wave force acting on an inclined slit wall caisson, it is recommended to apply the design procedure to a vertical slit caisson. However, the incidence of maximum wave force for an inclined slit wall caisson seems to differ from that for a vertical slit caisson. This paper reports the incidence of maximum wave force when the wave acts on an inclined slit wall caisson and proposes the empirical formulas of wave pressure.
