Course Objectives		The main goal of this course is to 1. emphasize the importance of coastal structures as a part of the Ocean Engineering curriculum, 2. supply necessary information about the fundamentals of design of coastal structures, 3. create awareness about the dangers that threaten coastal structures, 4. generate and establish a methodology for structural design from engineering stand point
Course Description		Design wave, reflection, refraction and diffraction. Forces on structures. Rubble mound structure design. Design of other shorefront structures: seawalls, bulkheads, groins, jettes, and breakwaters. Damages on structures. Design of ports. Material selection and construction methods. Inlet/lagoon systems. Cost analysis. Sediment transport.
Course Outcomes		Students who pass the course will be able to: I. Calculate design wave. II. Calculate forces acting on coastal structures. III. Apply design criteria to coastal styructures such as seawalls, bulkheads, groins, jettes, and breakwaters IV. Apply design criteria to rubble mound structures V. Make calculations for port design VI. Select material and make cost analysis for coastal structures
