This handbook deals with the protection of that portion of an ocean cable system which passes through the nearshore zone. This zone is defined as an indefinite area that extends seaward from the shoreline to well beyond the breaker zone. For the purpose of this work, the outer limit of this zone has been established as the distance from shore at which the water depth is great enough that the hydrodynamic effects of storm waves no longer represent a potential danger to the bottom-resting cable. Although this gives a rationale for establishing the nearshore zone, the extent of this region depends on specific site conditions. It could extend offshore to a water depth of at least 100 feet or as much as 600 feet (Valent and Brackett, 1976). The information presented in this handbook is directed primarily toward future cable installations; however, many of the protection systems and most of the design theory can easily be adapted for use in repair of existing installations.

The demand for high-performance submarine power cables is increasing as more and more offshore wind parks are installed, and the national electric grids are interconnected. Submarine power cables are installed for the highest voltages and power to transport electric energy under the sea between islands, countries and even continents. The installation and operation of submarine power cables is much different from land cables. Still, in most textbooks on electrical power systems, information on submarine cables is scarce. This book is closing the gap. Different species of submarine power cables and their application are explained. Students and electric engineers learn on the electric and mechanic properties of submarine cables. Project developers and utility managers will gain useful information on the necessary marine activities such as pre-laying survey, cable lay vessels, guard boats etc., for the submarine cable installation and repair. Investors and decision makers will find an overview on environmental aspects of submarine power cables. A comprehensive reference list is given for those who want further reading.

This technology development plan reviews the role of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) in developing technology for the design of ocean structures subject to wave-induced hydrodynamic loading. Navy design requirements for ocean facilities and the technological deficiencies requiring further development to make these designs both reliable and economical are discussed. Specifically, the topic of wave force prediction technology is reviewed, and a summary of previous and current NAVFAC and Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory wave forces research is provided. A plan is outlined describing the development process necessary to achieve a comprehensive set of design guidelines for both rigid and compliant structures. Major subjects identified for inclusion in the proposed design guidelines include Morison equation force coefficient selection, Morison equation deterministic static analysis, Morison equation random dynamic analysis, diffraction theory analysis, combined large and small body loading anlaysis for Navy ocean structures. A discussion of each of the topics pertinent to these major items is provided.
