Download or read book An Introduction to Coastal Engineering written by Michael Isaacson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-11-07 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understand and respond to a changing coastline with this comprehensive reference Coastal engineering concerns society’s interactions with coastlines and relates, for example, to coastal flooding, beach erosion, seawalls and breakwaters, and the design of marinas. As climate change drives sea level rise, coastal engineering is critical in responding to increased coastal flooding and receding shorelines. The need to develop coastal infrastructure while minimizing environmental impacts makes this a vital field. An Introduction to Coastal Engineering offers a comprehensive overview of this subject, designed to bridge existing gaps in the general civil engineering literature. Covering all major aspects of coastal engineering, including ocean wave behaviour, structures, sediments, mixing processes, and modelling, the book emphasizes practical solutions and applications for students and practicing engineers alike. Thorough and rigorous, yet highly readable, the book is a must-own tool for developing solutions towards a sustainable coastal future. An Introduction to Coastal Engineering readers will also find: Pertinent descriptions of wave theories, wave transformations, and random waves Detailed discussion of practical solutions, recent advancements in the field, and up-to-date data sources Worked-through examples and end-of-chapter problems with some written assignments A spreadsheet appendix containing a set of reference solutions An Introduction to Coastal Engineering is ideal for students in upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in coastal engineering, practicing coastal engineers, and other engineers engaged in coastal flood protection, waterfront development projects, and the minimization of environmental impacts along shorelines.

Download or read book Advanced Materials and Techniques for Structural Monitoring Analysis and Control written by Chun-Xu Qu and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-06-18 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessing the service status and maintaining the safety of existing structures are critical to the sustainable operations of various engineering and cross-industry, including civil infrastructures, railways and machinery. Static and dynamic structural characteristics play a key role in the global deterioration assessment of the structural performance, which has enabled structural monitoring and analysis technology to become an active focus in the engineering area. Meanwhile, structural control has been widely used in modern structural engineering. Structural control devices are implemented to enhance deteriorating structures and mitigate natural disasters. Through advanced structural control technology, the structural responses can be controlled. These structural control techniques include passive, active or semi-active reverse forces, which aim to modify structural stiffness, mass and damping with minimal control force. Structural control, monitoring and analysis complement each other, ensuring the safety of the structure to the greatest extent.
