Advances in Coastal Structure Design

Abstract

  • Sponsored by the Ocean Engineering Committee, Rubble Mound and Breakwater Committee, and Coastal Practice Committee of the Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute of ASCE.

    This report is 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.

    Topics 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; and application of coastal engineering in coastal zone management.
