Maximum Periodic Wave Runup on Smooth Slopes
Author: Todd L. WaltonPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Breakwaters
Languages : en
Pages : 26
Book Description
Periodic wave runup data on smooth structure slopes are reanalyzed in a unified format that allows maximum relative runup to be estimated for coastal structures with slopes ranging from mild to steep. A method to predict the limiting wave relative runup is proposed. The method has essentially two elements, a modified surf parameter that allows consideration of steep structure slopes and a limiting value of relative runup that provides a logical envelope for the runup of nonbreaking waves. Considerable data are shown in a unified format that gives a clear idea of the predictive ability of the method.

Introduction to Bed, Bank and Shore Protection
Author: Gerrit J. SchiereckPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1351991345
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
Introduction to Bed, Bank and Shore Protection provides students and professional engineers with the understanding and guidance to prevent the erosion of movable beds, banks and shorelines. In a world of rising sea levels and extreme weather conditions, these skills are increasingly important to the engineer as well as the wider community. The book starts with the underlying scientific principles behind hydraulics and soil mechanics and applies them to common practical situations for the protection of coastal and river beds, banks and shores. Based on the author's twenty years of experience, this blend of theory and practice provides the reader with useful knowledge that can be applied to a wide range of situations for the protection of the environment.

Pages : 838
Book Description
Now includes Worked Examples for lectutrers in a companion pdf! The fourth edition of this volume presents design principles and practical guidance for key hydraulic structures. Fully revised and updated, this new edition contains enhanced texts and sections on: environmental issues and the World Commission on Dams partially saturated soils, small amenity dams, tailing dams, upstream dam face protection and the rehabilitation of embankment dams RCC dams and the upgrading of masonry and concrete dams flow over stepped spillways and scour in plunge pools cavitation, aeration and vibration of gates risk analysis and contingency planning in dam safety small hydroelectric power development and tidal and wave power wave statistics, pipeline stability, wave–structure interaction and coastal modelling computational models in hydraulic engineering. The book's key topics are explored in two parts - dam engineering and other hydraulic structures – and the text concludes with a chapter on models in hydraulic engineering. Worked numerical examples supplement the main text and extensive lists of references conclude each chapter. Hydraulic Structures provides advanced students with a solid foundation in the subject and is a useful reference source for researchers, designers and other professionals.
