DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this report, several level II reliability techniques are discussed and applied to breakwater design. Using these methods, the reliability and reliability index are determined for the dominant performance functions of a breakwater including stone and concrete armor stability, concrete armor structural response, runup, and overflopping. The methods include Taylor series finite difference (TSFD) methods, which are shown to be easily computed using a handheld calculator or spreadsheet. The TSFD method is shown to yield reasonable accuracy for preliminary comparison of various alternatives. An invariant iterative TSFD method and associated FORTRAN program are shown, which provide an improved approximation to the reliability for design and evaluation purposes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMost of the Earth's surface is covered by water. Many aspects of our everyday lives and activities may be affected by water waves in some way. Sometimes, the waves can cause disaster. One of the examples was the tsunami that occurred in the Indian Ocean on 26 December 2004. This indicates how important it is for us to fully understand water waves, in particular the very large ones. One way to do so is to perform numerical simulation based on the nonlinear theory. Considerable research advances have been made in this area over the past decade by developing various numerical methods and applying them to emerging problems: however, until now there has been no comprehensive book to reflect these advances. This unique volume aims to bridge this gap.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis Proceedings contains 445 papers presented at the 30th International Conference on Coastal Engineering, which was held in San Diego, California, USA, 3-8 September 2006. The Proceedings is divided into five parts: Waves; Swash, Nearshore Currents, and Long Waves; Coastal Management, Risk, and Ecosystem Restoration; Sediment Transport and Morphology; and Coastal Structures. The individual papers cover a broad range of topics including theory, numerical and physical modeling, field measurements, case studies, design, and management. These papers provide engineers, scientists, and planners state-of-the-art information on coastal engineering and coastal processes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book delineates the methods required by government agencies for river and sea defense design and flood defense system management and demonstrates how to evaluate uncertainty in the performance of flood and erosion defenses. It introduces the statistical concepts required for the implementation of a reliability analysis and describes the analytical and the numerical methods with worked examples. The author provides examples of applications of the methods to illustrate their advantages and limitations, and includes case studies drawn from his experience in academia and consulting.
