Introduction to coastal engineering, coastal environment and coastal structures. Fundamental properties of waves, tides and tidal currents, their analysis, predictions and transformations. Short- and long-term wave analysis, and design waves. Coastal structures: types, functionality, limitations, and design factors. Waves. forces and moments on structures: interia/drag forces and moments; breaking, broken, and non-breaking wave forces and moments. Design of coastal structures: design water levels and wave heights; siting and layout; design of seawalls, breakwaters and groins. Design considerations for harbors and marinas. Modeling and scaling laws in coastal engineering.
