They directly control wave and storm surge action or to stabilize a beach which provides protection to the coast.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis book provides the most up-to-date technical advances on the design and construction of coastal structures and sea defenses.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWritten by renowned practicing coastal engineers, this edited volume focuses on the latest technology applied in planning, design and construction, effective engineering methodology, unique projects and problems, design and construction challenges, and other lesions learned.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMany books have been written about the theoretical treatment of coastal and ocean structures. Much less has been written about the practical practice aspect of ocean structures and sea defenses. This comprehensive book fills the gap. It is an essential source of reference for professionals and researchers in the areas of coastal, ocean, civil, and geotechnical engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSimulators as Hydraulic Test Facilities at Dikes and Other Coastal Structures \u003ci\u003e(Jentsje W van der Meer)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eDesign, Construction and Performance of the Main Breakwater of the New Outer Port at Punto Langosteira, La Coruña, Spain \u003ci\u003e(Hans F Burcharth, Enrique Maciñeira Alonso, and Fernando Noya Arquero)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003ePerformance Design for Maritime Structures \u003ci\u003e(Shigeo Takahashi, Ken-ichiro Shimosako, and Minoru Hanzawa)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAn Empirical Approach to Beach Nourishment Formulation \u003ci\u003e(Timothy W Kana, Haiqing Liu Kaczkowski, and Steven B Traynum)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eTidal Power Exploitation in Korea \u003ci\u003e(Byung Ho Choi, Kyeong Ok Kim and Jae Cheon Choi)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eA Floating Mobile Quay for Super Container Ships in a Hub Port \u003ci\u003e(Jang-Won Chae and Woo-Sun Park)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSurrogate Modeling for Hurricane Wave and Inundation Prediction \u003ci\u003e(Jane McKee Smith, Alexandros A Taflanidis and Andrew B Kennedy)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eStatistical Methods for Risk Assessment of Harbor and Coastal Structures \u003ci\u003e(Sebastián Solari and Miguel A Losada)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Researchers, professionals, academics and graduate students in coastal, ocean, civil and geotechnical engineering.","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185625350384,"sku":"9789814611022","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814611022_p0.jpg?v=1763691268","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814611022","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
