Description: | Aims: To develop an awareness of, enthusiasm and skills for conserving sustainable coast, and planning, design and construction of maritime structures on coasts and offshore. Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of this unit, the student should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of: * Fundamental aspects affecting coastal environments and civil engineering works on coasts. * Design of a range of coastal structures, including coastal sea defences, harbours, marinas and breakwaters. * Knowledge and understanding of the main elements involved in the design of offshore structures. Skills: Intellectual skills * To understand taught material and design issues and constraints. * To apply the concepts and principles of fluid mechanics and wave & tidal theory to the solution of engineering problems. * To synthesise material from Hydraulics 1 and 2 to understand the provision of water Professional/Practical skills * Analytical and design skills related to the material covered - assessed Transferable/key skills * To communicate ideas verbally and in writing clearly. * To collect, analyse, synthesise and present technical information. Content: Coastal Engineering: Wave and tidal theory, coastal environments, coastal processes, wave transformations, coastal defences and protection, coastal structures. Offshore Engineering: Offshore hydrodynamics, wave loading, design wave, offshore structures, and marine renewable energy. |
