Effective coastal engineering is
expensive, but it is not as costly as neglect or ineffective intervention. Good
practice needs to be based on sound principles, but theoretical work and
modelling also need to be well grounded in practice, which is continuously
evolving. Conceptual and detailed design has been advanced by new industry
publications since the publication of the second edition.
This third edition provides a
number of updates: the sections on wave overtopping have been updated to
reflect changes brought in with the recently issued EurOtop II manual; a
detailed worked example is given of the calculation of extreme wave conditions
for design; additional examples have been included on the reliability of
structures and probabilistic design; the method for tidal analysis and
calculation of amplitudes and phases of harmonic constituents from water level
time series has been introduced in a new appendix together with a worked
example of harmonic analysis; and a real-life example is included of a design
adapting to climate change.
This book is especially useful
as an information source for undergraduates and engineering MSc students
specializing in coastal engineering and management. Readers require a good
grounding in basic fluid mechanics or engineering hydraulics, and some
familiarity with elementary statistical concepts.
