COASTAL ENGINEERING 2004
(In 4 Volumes)
Proceedings of the 29th International Conference
National Civil Engineering Laboratory, Lisbon, Portugal 19 - 24 September 2004
edited by Jane McKee Smith (Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory, USA)
This comprehensive and up-to-date volume contains 367 papers presented at the 29th International Conference on Coastal Engineering, held in Lisbon, Portugal, 19–24 September 2004. It is divided into five parts: waves; long waves, nearshore currents, and swash; sediment transport and morphology; coastal management, beach nourishment, and dredging; coastal structures. The contributions cover a broad range of topics including theory, numerical and physical modeling, field measurements, case studies, design, and management. Coastal Engineering 2004 provides engineers, scientists, and planners state-of-the-art information on coastal engineering and coastal processes.
The proceedings have been selected for coverage in: - Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings)
- CC Proceedings — Engineering & Physical Sciences
