- Additional information
- Through wave hindcasting, field modal testing and structural modelling, we present the structural behaviour of the Wolf Rock lighthouse during an extreme storm in 50 years' time, also accounting for sea level rise. The response of the tower has given operational information to the UK General Lighthouse Authorities, particularly with reference to the helideck at the end of its design life. The methods are also applicable to more generic coastal structures. The paper arises from the EPSRC-funded STORMLAMP project, underpins a REF2021 impact case study, and is the opening article in a Phil.Trans.Roy.Soc.A Special Issue led by the first author.
