There lies a close relationship between the seabed destruction and the distribution of pore water pressure under the action of breaking wave.The experiments were carried out in a wave flume with a 1∶30 sloping sandy seabed to study regular breaking wave induced pore water pressure.A wide range of measurements from the regular wave runs were reported,including time series of wave heights,pore pressures.The video records were analysed to measure the time development of the seabed form and the characteristics of the orbital motion of the sand in the wave breaking region.The pore water pressure in the breaker zone showed the time variation depending on the wave phases including wave breaking and bore propagation.The time-averaged pore water pressure was higher near the seabed surface.The peak values of pore water pressure increase significantly at the breaking point.The direction of pore water pressure difference forces in the breaker zone is of fundamental importance for a correct description of the sediment dynamics.The upwardsdirected pressure differences may increase sand transport by reducing the effective weight of the sediment,thereby increasing the bed form evolution.The seabed configuration changed greatly at the wave breaking zone and a sand bar was generated remarkably.The amplitude of the pore water pressure changed with the seabed surface:The results are to improve the understanding of sand transport mechanisms and seabed responses due to breaking regular waves over a sloping sandy bed.
