  • Coastal Processes with Engineering Applicationsby Robert G. Dean; Robert A. Dalrymple

    Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 55.00

    This text is organized in four parts: (1) an overview of coastal engineering, using case studies to illustrate problems; (2) hydrodynamics of the coastal zone, reviewing storm surges, water waves, and low frequency motions within the nearshore and surf zone; (3) coastal responses including equilibrium beach profiles and sediment transport; (4) applications such as erosion mitigation and shoreline management. more...

    Taylor & Francis 2003; US$ 84.95

    Introduction to Bed, Bank and Shore Protection provides students and professional engineers with the understanding and guidance to prevent the erosion of movable beds, banks and shorelines. more...

  • Managing Coastal Vulnerabilityby Loraine McFadden; Robert Nicholls; Edmund Penning-Rowsell

    Emerald Group Publishing Limited 2006; US$ 91.95

    Spotlights on coastal vulnerabilities around the world and discussion about sustainment more...

  • Coastal Engineeringby T. Sawaragi

    Elsevier 1995; US$ 260.00

    The science and technology of coastal and ocean engineering are closely related to harbour and fishery engineering, because they share a common basic knowledge. However, whereas various publications of coastal engineering, harbour engineering, and ocean engineering have described just the knowledge in their own respective fields, an interrelated and systematic presentation linking them together has yet to be attempted. This book is the first attempt to systematically combine the fields of coastal, ocean, harbour, and fishery engineering from an engineering viewpoint backed by hydrodynamics. Understanding the interaction of waves with structures and sediment, and predicting the associated responses of interest, underlie nearly every problem... more...

  • Coastal Engineering 2006by Jane McKee Smith

    World Scientific 2007; US$ 799.50

    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. more...

  • Seehäfen: Planung und Entwurf (German Edition)by Birgitt Brinkmann

    Springer 2005; US$ 369.00

    Über die Planung und den Entwurf von Seehäfen ist aus der Perspektive der damit befassten Ingenieure seit über 40 Jahren kein Buch in deutscher Sprache erschienen. In diesem Zeitraum hat das ständige Anwachsen der Umschlagmengen zu immer größeren Schiffen und deren Spezialisierung geführt. Diese Entwicklung hat Einfluss auf die Standorte der Häfen, Hafenzufahrten, Abmessungen und die Gestaltung der wasserseitigen Hafenflächen (Hafenbecken, Liegeplätze), Umschlagverfahren und -anlagen, Lagerflächen, Kaianlagen und Pierkonstruktionen sowie Festmachereinrichtungen und beeinflusst daher die Planungsgrundlagen erheblich. Das Buch wendet sich an die im Hafenbau tätigen Ingenieure und an Studierende der Fachrichtung Wasserbau. Es gibt den aktuellen... more...

  • Environmental Design Guidelines for Low Crested Coastal Structuresby H.F. Burcharth; Tina J Hawkins; Barbara Zanuttigh; A. Lamberti

    Elsevier 2007; US$ 230.00

    The effect of manmade activities is primarily local but can extend far away from the location of intervention. This underlines the importance of establishing coastal zone management plans covering large stretches of coastlines. In recent years, interest in Low Crested Structures (coastal defense structures with a low-crest) has been growing together with awareness of the sensitivity to environmental impacts produced by coastal defenses. The relation between wave climate, beach erosion, beach defence means, habitat changes and beach value, which clearly exists based on EC research results, suggests the necessity of an integrated approach when designing coastal protection schemes. In accordance with this need, the present design guidelines... more...
