Since 1990, John Gaythwaite's Design of Marine Facilities stands
out as the one essential reference for the engineering and design
of ports, harbors, and marine terminals. The Third Edition
continues this tradition by providing the accurate, authoritative
explanations and recommendations required by civil engineers who
are building and maintaining the structures used to berth, moor,
and repair ocean-going vessels. Gaythwaite provides comprehensive
technical discussions on a variety of loads and design issues
relevant to ports and harbors. Topics include: Vessel
characteristics Features of marine facilities Operational and
environmental loads Berthing loads and fender system design Mooring
loads and design principles Design of fixed structures, including
piers, wharves, dolphins, access buildings, crane trackage, and
ship services Geotechnical design for marine sites, including
foundations, slopes, bulkheads and retaining structures, solid-fill
structures, and pile and drilled-shaft foundations Floating
structures Dry docks Rehabilitation, maintenance, and inspection.
The Third Edition completely revises and updates previous editions
with expanded coverage overall. Material has been added on seismic
design, tsunami effects, sea level rise, design of fixed aids to
navigation, and other topics. New information is included regarding
the rehabilitation, maintenance, and repair of marine facilities,
as well as facility inspection, assessment, and life-cycle asset
management. With its practical approach and clear explanations,
Design of Marine Facilities: Engineering for Port and Harbor
Structures is a must-have guide for port authority engineers,
marine terminal operators, marine contractors, port planners, and
other professionals. It is also an excellent introduction for
students to the basics of marine facilities design.
