Course Objectives
By the end of this course, the students will be able to:
- Describe the essential wave hydrodynamics based on the small amplitude wave theory, generation and propagation of wind waves, nature of random waves and wave-structure interactions,
- Compute hydrodynamic forces on the coastal structures, determine the design wave
characteristics, - Design various types of coastal structures; breakwaters, berthing structures, quays, bollards and fenders,
- Analyze the results of preliminary studies and investigations and relate the results of these studies in their design applications.
- Function successfully as part of a 2-4 member team to study above given engineering design problems.
Course Content
Wind wave hydrodynamics; description of random sea waves; generation and propagation of wind waves; wave-structure interactions; classification of coastal and harbor structures; planning and layout of ports and marinas; preliminary studies and site investigations in coastal engineering design; determination of design wave characteristics; design of rubble mound, vertical wall, floating, submerged/low crested breakwaters, berthing structures, quays, bollards and fenders.
Course Learning Outcomes
- Compute long term and extreme statistics for wind and wave parameters
- Calculate wave parameters using fetch, wave generation and wave transformation proces
- Design the water area of the different coastal structures such as ports, fishery, marina using national and international guidelines
- Design rubblemound breakwater, vertical breakwater and other structural components
- Describe and discuss coastal structure design in terms of environmental and social impacts
