General information
This one-day training course to introduce the key issues of coastal processes, and design methods for coastal structures, including seawalls, breakwaters, vertical walls, piers and jetties.. The design of coastal structures needs to address many factors to ensure long-term effectiveness and stability. This includes an understanding of wave loads, wave characteristics, engineering design, future climate change and coastal processes.
Course content
- An introduction to the key issues in coastal engineering, vulnerabilities of different coastlines (developed and natural), and the key drivers for flooding/erosion threats.
- The effects of encounter probability, climate change, wave forecasting, wave transformations and depth-limited breaking.
- Simple methods to estimate wave loads and how to predict wave overtopping, crest level calculation, and armour size determination.
At the end of the course, the participants will:
- be familiar key coastal processes affecting the design of coastal structures;
- be aware of the types and breadth of coastal structures in use;
- have hands-on experience of key input parameters, application of prediction tools, and understand levels of confidence for their calculations;
- understand the significance of different sources of guidance, including recent research results;
- be able to devise alternative solutions with confidence by understanding key coastal process, and by their experience of the main prediction methods.
