Effective coastal engineering is expensive, but it is not as costly
as neglect or ineffective intervention. Good practice needs to be
based on sound principles, but theoretical work and modelling also
need to be well grounded in practice, which is continuously
evolving. Conceptual and detailed design has been advanced by new
industry publications since the publication of the second edition.
This third edition provides a number of updates: the sections on
wave overtopping have been updated to reflect changes brought in
with the recently issued EurOtop II manual; a detailed worked
example is given of the calculation of extreme wave conditions for
design; additional examples have been included on the reliability
of structures and probabilistic design; the method for tidal
analysis and calculation of amplitudes and phases of harmonic
constituents from water level time series has been introduced in a
new appendix together with a worked example of harmonic analysis;
and a real-life example is included of a design adapting to climate
change. This book is especially useful as an information source for
undergraduates and engineering MSc students specializing in coastal
engineering and management. Readers require a good grounding in
basic fluid mechanics or engineering hydraulics, and some
familiarity with elementary statistical concepts.
