Learning Outcomes
After the successful completion of the course the students will:
(1) Understand the basic principles of coastal engineering based on analytical mathematical formulations and diagrams.
(2) Understand the basic design principles of coastal structures based on: (i) analytical models for wave forecasting and (ii) equations for evaluating hydrodynamic loads on piles and vertical walls and stability of rubble mound slopes.
(3) Understand the basic principles of coastal sediment transport and of coastal morphological response resulting from the construction of coastal structures based on equations and simple mathematical models.
(4) Familiarize themselves with the preliminary dimensioning of rubble mound and vertical breakwaters based on equations.
(5) Solve the basic components of coastal engineering problems based on the understanding of the wave propagation processes in coastal areas and of the interaction between waves/currents and structures.
