Marine Structures Engineering is designed to help engineers meet
the growing worldwide demand for construction of new ports and the
modernization of existing ports and terminals. It provides an
authoritative guide to the design, construction, rehabilitation,
repair, and maintenance of port and harbor structures. Each chapter
is self-contained, allowing readers to access specific information.
The Author draws on his extensive experience in offshore structure
and port engineering to demonstrate evaluation, rehabilitation,
repair, and maintenance of in-service marine structures. Also
covered in detail are state-of-the-art approaches to: *marine
structures in cold regions, with special attention to the role of
ice loads, permafrost, and other ice effects *shiplifts, marine
railways, shipways, and dry docks *offshore moorings *floating
breakwaters *marinas *structures that protect bridge piers from
ship impact. Offering practical information on all aspects of
marine structures, this book serves as an indispensable resource to
all engineers and professionals involved in design, construction,
maintenance, and modernization of ports and harbors.
Reeds Marine Surveying is aimed at students of marine surveying, professional marine surveyors, boatyard operators and technically-minded boat owners, and covers the latest marine surveying technology, including analysis of the mechanical behaviour of materials, failure analysis, stress concentration, fatigue and fracture, corrosion, wood-damaging organisms, polymer chemistry, and the composition and characteristics of common plastics, metal, alloys and composite materials.
This new edition expands its scope to include coverage of surveying topics relevant to ships and class surveying and includes more examples of common problems and the practical elements of surveying, as well as be updated throughout in line with technological developments, guidelines and best practice.
Reeds Marine Surveying has been in print for over twenty years and excellently serves the community of marine surveyors by providing technically robust presentations of this discipline. It extends the inquiry of inspection and safety beyond anecdote and into foundation principles and technologies.
Lamb's Questions and Answers on the Marine Diesel Engine is a
comprehensive reference book for Marine Engineers and all seekeing
a working knowledge of the marine diesel engine. This fully revised
eighth edition has been completely rewritten. New coverage includes
super-longstroke and slow-speed engines, and a new generation of
medium-speed engines burning lower quality fuels. New purifier
systems for fuel treatment, and the testing of fuel and lubrication
oils on board ship are also discussed.
Over 100 new illustrations, most were specifically drawn for this
new edition.
Latest engine technology and design fully described.
New fuel systems fully explained.
Materials technology has a significant role to play in the
continuing drive to reduce both the capital and operational costs
of offshore installations. In particular, the progressive advances
in the understanding of composite materials is particularly
important in the harsh environment of the offshore oil and gas
industry. This text presents a collection of papers from an IMechE
seminar on the subject.
Reeds Introductions: Principles of Earth Observation for Marine
Engineering Applications covers the fundamental earth-observation
concepts that underpin all space-based terrestrial and maritime remote
sensing methods. Satellite-based earth observation provides key weather
and environmental information to all nations, including key maritime
users such as navy, coastguard and merchant vessels. The application
and understanding of electromagnetic wave-based devices and sensors is
an established merchant sea service requirement, found in the Standards
in Training and Certification in Watchkeeping (STCW95) qualification
and various Maritime Coastguard Agency exams. It is vital that maritime
and land-based users have a basic understanding of the concepts upon
which these essential earth-observation systems now operate. The book
is written as simply as possible to support the growing numbers of
overseas students for whom English is not their first language. It
provides a firm foundation prior to reading and studying of the Reeds
Marine Engineering series, and is complementary to other volumes in the
Introductions series. Maritime and land-based students and scientists
having read this easy-to-read volume will be better prepared for more
in-depth study.
