This course covers basic wave theory, wave measurement, wave statistics, wave record analysis, wave transformation, tides, water levels and storm surges. It introduces design of breakwaters and ocean structures, and uses hydraulic and numerical coastal models. The final projects consist of the design of a breakwater, design of a hydraulic model of the breakwater and testing with the hydraulic model to determine breakwater stability. Environmental considerations, coastal zone management, coastal sediment transport and design in the coastal zone are also treated. (0/0/0/24/24) ~ COURSE DELETED IN 2009/10 ~ PREREQUISITES:
