This study describes an extensive series of large-scale experiments to create a comprehensive dataset to derive horizontal and vertical wave forces on elevated coastal structures subject to storm waves, surge, and tsunamis, incorporating the effect of the relative structure elevation, breaking type (non-breaking, breaking, or broken), 3D flow alteration due to near-structure shielding, and waterborne debris. The work include a detailed description of the experimental procedures, model layout, instrumentation and dataset characteristics. Moreover, it also include the description of the different wave and water level conditions tested, and the uncertainty analysis of the results via repeatability tests.
