This book is written for engineers, students of coastal processes and laypersons interested in beach nourishment, which consists of the placement of large quantities of good quality sediment on the beach to advance the shoreline seaward.
The responses of offshore structures are significantly affected by steep nonlinear waves, currents and wind, leading to phenomena such as springing and ringing of TLPs, slow drift yaw motion of FPSOs and large oscillations of Spar platforms due to vortex shedding.
This book is intended as an introductory textbook for graduate students and as a reference book for engineers and scientists working in the field of coastal engineering.
Random waves are the most important constituent of the sea environment, as they make the design of maritime structures quite different from that of structures on land.
