DESCRIPTION:
A Customer said A must for environmental engineers. For a quarter century this set has been the definitive manual on the subject of shore protection.
It discusses planning, analysis, structural features, and structural design as related to physical factors, and shows an example of a coastal engineering problem which utilizes the technical content of material presented in all three volumes. Volume I describes the physical environment in the coastal zone starting with an introduction of coastal engineering, continuing with discussions of mechanics of wave motion, wave and water level predictions, and finally littoral processes. Volume II translates the interaction of the physical environment and coastal structures into design parameters for use in the solution of coastal engineering problems. Volume III contains four appendixes including a glossary of coastal engineering terms, a list of symbols, tables and plates, and a subject index.. The Shore Protection Manual is in three volumes. This is volume two of a three volume set
