Experimental analysis has been performed in the wave flume at Changwon National University to investigate the wave run-up phenomena of a semi-submersible platform which consists of two columns and one pontoon. For a semi-submersible platform with shallow draft, wave run-up predictions are very important to satisfy requirements of the positive air gap below the deck. Various wave conditions have been applied to understand the nonlinear wave run-ups on the semi-submersible and several wave probes used to measure the wave height around the semi-submersible platform. Non-linear characteristics of wave elevations and run-up heights have been compared with previous numerical and experimental studies.
