This book is based on the author's 34 years of experience as a
teacher/researcher of coastal engineering and management and on
recent reflections on contemporary issues, such as consequences of
failure, impacts of rising sea levels, aging infrastructure, real
estate development and contemporary decision making, design and
education. This textbook for undergraduate students, postgraduate
students and practicing engineers covers waves, structures,
sediment movement, coastal management, and contemporary coastal
design and decision making, presenting both basic principles and
engineering solutions. It discusses the traditional methods of
analysis and synthesis (design), but also contemporary design
taking into account environmental impacts, consequences of failure,
and current concerns such as global warming, aging infrastructure,
working with stakeholder groups, regulators, etc. This second
edition expands greatly on current topics of failure and resilience
that surfaced as a result of recent disasters from hurricane surges
and tsunamis. It also updates the discussion of design and decision
making in the 21st century, with many new examples presented.
