To investigate the impact of extreme waves, based on the physical model test in a wave tank, this paper aims to study the characteristics of wave impact pressure and impulse generated by focused waves with different breaking stages on a plate-square column structure. Wavelet denoising, empirical mode decomposition, and local weighted linear regression methods were used to process the experimental data. The wave pressure at different parts of square columns was obtained, and the temporal and spatial distribution features of wave pressure were explored. Based on the time integral of wave impact pressure, the time-varying characteristics of the pressure impulse at the typical part of the structure were analyzed. Additionally, the effects of wave breaking stage, initial air gap, and trim angle on the spatial variation of pressure impulse were discussed in detail. The results show that the maximum impact pressure impulse generated by the focused waves is significantly affected by the breaking stage, the initial air gap, and the trim angle. Waves with crest curling or even premature breaking usually produce larger impact pressure impulses. Meanwhile, the plate-square column structure with small initial air gap and positive trim angle is subjected to a larger impact pressure impulse. This study provides a valuable reference for further investigation of the impact of extreme waves on semi-submersible platforms.
