    This document calculates wave, current, and wind forces on piles at two grid locations for a marine structure. It provides design data such as water levels, pile dimensions, material properties, and reference standards. Calculations are shown for current force based on velocity and drag coefficient, wave forces using Morrison's equation accounting for drag and inertia, and wind force based on basic wind speed and dynamic pressure. The maximum calculated lateral load is 24.65 kN.

    The document contains calculations for wave, current and wind forces on piles based on various design standards like BS 6349 and ASCE 7-95.

    Calculations are being performed to determine the wave drag force, wave inertia force, total wave force, current force and wind force on piles based on parameters like diameter, velocity, period, drag coefficient, inertia coefficient etc.

    The current force is calculated based on the projected area, current velocity and drag coefficient of the pile. The force is calculated at different elevations from the sea bed level.
