Coastal structures are an important component in any coastal protection scheme.
They directly control wave and storm surge action or to stabilize a beach which provides protection to the coast.
This book provides the most up-to-date technical advances on the design and construction of coastal structures and sea defenses.
Written 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 lessons learned.
Many 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.
