Advances in Coastal Structure Design presents a compendium of 10
papers addressing the state-of-the-art advances in Coastal
Structure Design by internationally renowned authors. The papers
focus on the tools and techniques used to analyze coastal processes
and design engineering solutions to them. The first three chapters
present multiple view points and policies regarding how the
coastal-structure debate in the United States came to be and how
policies are evolving to handle issues concerning the interactions
of structures with shorelines. This work includes a paper on the
global perspective surrounding the policy, design, construction and
monitoring of coastal structures and the third demonstrating how a
good knowledge of multi-disciplinary areas of geotechnical,
geologic, and seismic conditions are essential to successful
planning and design of coastal structures. The following chapter
discusses a key aspect of coastal structure design, which is
modeling. The remaining papers present insightful information on:
wave distributions and probabilities; an overview of breakwater
design and construction since the 18th century; and advances in
structural design aspects on performance-based design. The final
chapter demonstrates how sand, vegetation, cobbles, and small
structures can be effectively utilized to provide coastal
protection. Contents include: Coastal Structure Debate: Public and
Policy Aspects; International Perspectives on Coastal Structure
Uses; Geotechnical Consideration for Coastal Structure Design;
Numerical Modeling as a Design Tool for Coastal Structures;
Physical Modeling Considerations for Coastal Structures; Selection
of a Design Wave Height for Coastal Engineering; Historical
Overview of Rubble Mound Structure Design and Construction;
Advances in Breakwater and Revetment Design; Design Aspects of
Groins and Jetties; Application of Coastal Engineering in Coastal
Zone Management.
