This text covers theoretical and practical aspects in the design and construction of maritime structures against waves. Topics covered include: wave-structure interaction; composite and other special breakwaters; structure on piles; risk analysis; and site investigations and data acquisition.
Description of sea surface motion; harbour problem; wave-structure
interaction; design and stability analysis of mound breakwaters and vertical
walls; composite and other special breakwaters; structure on piles;
breakwaters for very short waves; risk analysis; construction and maintenance
of maritime works; site investigations and data acquisition.
