The second edition (1997) of this text was a completely rewritten
version of the original text Basic Coastal Engineering published in
1978. This third edition makes several corrections, improvements
and additions to the second edition. Basic Coastal Engineering is
an introductory text on wave mechanics and coastal processes along
with fundamentals that underline the practice of coastal
engineering. This book was written for a senior or first
postgraduate course in coastal engineering. It is also suitable for
self study by anyone having a basic engineering or physical science
background. The level of coverage does not require a math or fluid
mechanics background beyond that presented in a typical
undergraduate civil or mechanical engineering curriculum. The
material p- sented in this text is based on the author's lecture
notes from a one-semester course at Virginia Polytechnic Institute,
Texas A&M University, and George Washington University, and a
senior elective course at Lehigh University. The text contains
examples to demonstrate the various analysis techniques that are
presented and each chapter (except the first and last) has a
collection of problems for the reader to solve that further
demonstrate and expand upon the text material. Chapter 1 briefly
describes the coastal environment and introduces the re- tively new
field of coastal engineering. Chapter 2 describes the
two-dimensional characteristics of surface waves and presents the
small-amplitude wave theory to support this description.
