Piers Jetties And Related Structures Exposed To Waves

Offers guidance on hydraulic design, including design wave conditions, prediction of scour and vessel mooring loads, and methods for the prediction of wave loading, including forces on the underside of jetty decks. This book also provides guidance on design principles and design wave loads for exposed jetty structures.

Helps maritime designers to optimize jetty designs, and acts as an essential reference resource. This book provides guidance on hydraulic design, design wave conditions, prediction of scour and vessel mooring loads and methods for the prediction of wave loading.

Piers, Jetties and Related Structures Exposed to Waves, Second Edition delivers guidelines for engineers to analyse and optimise pier and jetty designs. It is essential reading for maritime designers and consultants tasked with analysing, designing and constructing piers and jetties.

The ICE Coasts, Maritime Structures and Breakwaters conference series is the leading international forum for the presentation of the latest developments in coastal and maritime engineering. This book is provided as 2 individual volumes.

This Proceedings contains 445 papers presented at the 30th International Conference on Coastal Engineering, which was held in San Diego, California, USA, 3-8 September 2006. The Proceedings is divided into five parts: Waves; Swash, Nearshore Currents, and Long Waves; Coastal Management, Risk, and Ecosystem Restoration; Sediment Transport and Morphology; and Coastal Structures. The individual papers cover a broad range of topics including theory, numerical and physical modeling, field measurements, case studies, design, and management. These papers provide engineers, scientists, and planners state-of-the-art information on coastal engineering and coastal processes.

Coastal Structures are undergoing renewal and innovation to better serve the needs of our society, from environmental co-existence and habitat enhancement to risk management. The CSt2011 conference is the sixth in a series that highlights coastal disaster preparedness and ocean utilization in a changing climate. The conferences have frequently yielded milestone works and highly cited references in the field.
