    RANDOM SEAS AND DESIGN OF MARITIME STRUCTURES
    (2nd Edition)

    by Y Goda (Yokohama National University)

    Contents (55k)
    Preface (59k)
    Chapter 1: Introduction
    Chapter 1.1: Waves in the Sea (63k)
    Chapter 1.2: Outline of Design Procedures against Random Sea Waves (128k)

    Random waves are the most important constituent of the sea environment. They make the design of maritime structures quite different from that of structures on land. In this book, the concept of randomness in waves for the design of breakwaters, seawalls, and harbor structures is fully explored for easy comprehension by practicing engineers.

    Theoretical aspects are also discussed in detail for further studies by graduate students and researchers. Several additions have been made to this second edition, including a new chapter on extreme wave statistics.

     
    Contents:
    • Statistical Properties and Spectra of Sea Waves
    • Transformation and Deformation of Random Sea Waves
    • Design of Vertical Breakwaters
    • Design of Seawalls
    • Harbor Tranquility
    • Hydraulic Model Tests with Irregular Waves
    • Description of Random Sea Waves
    • Statistical Theory of Irregular Waves
    • Techniques of Irregular Wave Analysis
    • Statistical Analysis of Extreme Waves
     
    Readership: Students and consulting engineers.
