,Basic Hydraulics, |
A. M. Muir Wood F.R.S., F.Eng,C. A. Fleming Ph.D., M.I.C.E. |
|
Abstract
It is probable that recent graduates in civil engineering will be familiar with the basic hydraulic theory assumed in the subsequent chapters. Those further removed from a period of academic instruction may fmd it helpful to make use of one or more sections of this chapter which endeavours to set out in simple terms the most fundamental aspects of the theory of hydraulics in relation to the dynamics of the sea.

,Tides and Currents, |
A. M. Muir Wood F.R.S., F.Eng,C. A. Fleming Ph.D., M.I.C.E. |
|
Abstract
This chapter presents a brief account of tidal theory, indicating the causes of the most important features of tides and the steps involved in tidal analysis. Tides are subject to local sea changes which give rise to many oddities and apparent anomalies, especially close inshore. While a quantitative application of this theory may require a detailed mathematical analysis, the underlying causes can be described in relatively simple terms.

,Waves, |
A. M. Muir Wood F.R.S., F.Eng,C. A. Fleming Ph.D., M.I.C.E. |
|
Abstract
In Chapter 3 we considered waves of periods measured in minutes, hours or days. In this chapter we are concerned with waves of, say, 1–30s, which are predominantly those caused by wind.

,Coastal Sediment Transport, |
A. M. Muir Wood F.R.S., F.Eng,C. A. Fleming Ph.D., M.I.C.E. |
|
Abstract
The fundamentals of sediment transport have been covered in chapter 1. This chapter considers the movement of sediment in the marine environment and methods of attempting to describe and hence predict its movement.

,Coast and Bed Morphology, |
A. M. Muir Wood F.R.S., F.Eng,C. A. Fleming Ph.D., M.I.C.E. |
|
Abstract
The morphology of the coast and sea bed results from the interplay of natural and man-made forces on the exposed geological formations. The natural forces are those of waves, currents, gravity and, possibly, tectonics. The factors which determine the climate of waves and the strength and direction of currents vary in many time scales, ranging from seconds to millennia. Thus at any instant of time, the shape and composition of the coast and sea bed represent a complex pattern of innumerable trends tending towards a dynamic equilibrium, over the relevant period of geological history.

,Planning of Coast Protection, |
A. M. Muir Wood F.R.S., F.Eng,C. A. Fleming Ph.D., M.I.C.E. |
|
Abstract
A natural beach of sand or shingle is an economic means of absorbing the energy of breaking waves, and thus protecting an erodible coastline. Chapter 5 indicates how a coastal regime may vary with changes in offshore topography. It is also necessary to consider how the regime may be affected by maritime works interfering with the natural processes of littoral drift. After allowing for such factors, the engineer has to consider the sufficiency of the natural beach material for continuous protection, making provision for possible short-term and long-term variations. At this stage, it may be possible to assess whether or not artificial means are necessary to augment or sustain the beach; alternatively it may be decided that some other expedient will be necessary to replace the function of the beach in full or in part. These stages in the evolution of an economic scheme of coast protection are described in outline below.

,Waves and Structures, |

|
Abstract
In selecting the characteristics of the design wave, different types of structure require different starting points.

,The Acquisition of Data, |
A. M. Muir Wood F.R.S., F.Eng,C. A. Fleming Ph.D., M.I.C.E. |
|
Abstract
This final chapter presents a brief account of the instruments and techniques available to the coastal engineer for acquiring and recording pertinent data about currents, waves, water depths, sediment transport and littoral drift. Instruments in these fields continue to develop rapidly and it is intended, primarily, to provide an introduction to the principles and the available choice of techniques rather than to attempt a detailed descriptive account of particular instruments, which would rapidly become obsolete.
