Costal Engineering
CIV_446

Description
Introduction and understanding of the basic principles of coastal engineering (eg linear wave theory, wave hydraulics in coastal space) through detailed mathematical formulas and diagrams. Solving basic components of coastal engineering problems by understanding the wave propagation processes in coastal areas and the interaction of waves with coastal structures. Understanding wave mechanics. Port layout planning principles. Detailed wave prediction models. Hydrodynamic loads on vertical quays and breakwaters. Design and dimensioning of breakwaters by analytical equations. Basic principles of coastal morphodynamics (e.g. coastal erosion) and morphodynamic effects from technical works through equations and simple numerical models. Introduction to coastal protection structures.
