Synopsis
This text presents an outline of current practice for the application of concrete in coastal structures, drawn from real-life engineering projects and experience. Introductory chapters explain the background to coastal engineering, coastal hydraulics and the latest practice in the design of coastal defences and breakwaters. The book contains design and specification chapters which detail the features of concrete used in coastal structures, concrete design, life expectancy, performance and concrete technology. It identifies exposure conditions in both macro and micro environments and gives the appropriate technology in accessible tabular form. In addition, it reviews and compares world-wide specifications for the design of coastal structures, covering the UK, the USA, Europe and Japan.
