Handbook of Port and Harbor Engineering- Geotechnical and Structural Aspects
Year: 1997 Language: english Author: Gregory P. Tsinker, Ph.D., P.E. Genre: Handbook Publisher: Springer-Science+Business Media, B.V. Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 1085 Description: In past 10 years or so several excellent books and handbooks on "Port and Harbors Engineering" and "Coastal and Ocean Engineering" have been published in Europe and in North America. Reference to these works is made elsewhere in this book. The authors of the aforementioned works offer a shrewd and comprehensive discussion on the marine environment and its effects on port design, port operation, port hydraulics, coastal geomorphology, littoral drift and sedimentation, port and shipping technology and economics, design and construction of a floating port related structures, and others. However, proportionally the geotechnical and structural aspects of port construction have been given very little attention. This happens, perhaps, because the subject of marine structures engineering is very broad by itself; it is a blend that encompasses the array of engineering disciplines, e.g., civil, structural, geotechnical, hydraulic, strength of materials, corrosion, naval architecture and others knowledge of which is required to produce a sound and economical design of a modern port or marine terminal.

Description: In past 10 years or so several excellent
books and handbooks on "Port and Harbors
Engineering" and "Coastal and Ocean Engineering"
have been published in Europe and
in North America. Reference to these works
is made elsewhere in this book.
The authors of the aforementioned works
offer a shrewd and comprehensive discussion
on the marine environment and its
effects on port design, port operation, port
hydraulics, coastal geomorphology, littoral
drift and sedimentation, port and shipping
technology and economics, design and construction
of a floating port related structures,
and others. However, proportionally
the geotechnical and structural aspects of
port construction have been given very little
attention. This happens, perhaps, because
the subject of marine structures engineering
is very broad by itself; it is a blend
that encompasses the array of engineering
disciplines, e.g., civil, structural, geotechnical,
hydraulic, strength of materials, corrosion,
naval architecture and others knowledge
of which is required to produce a sound
and economical design of a modern port or
marine terminal.
