| Course Description |
| Introduction to coastal engineering. Wave mechanics, linear and nonlinear wave theories. Random waves.Selection of
design wave height and period; wave hindcasting and forecasting; seasonal variations. Waveshoaling, wave refraction and
diffraction. Wave breaking, breaker depth index. Sediment transport due to wave induced currents. Shoreline and beach
processes. Coastal structures. Forces on structures. Rubble mound structure design. Design of other shorefront structures:
seawalls, bulkheads, groins, jettes, and breakwaters.Impact of coastal structures on sediment transport within the surf zone. |
