Preface to the Third Edition --
Preface to the Second Edition --
Preface to the First Edition --
Part I. Random sea waves and engineering applications --
Introduction --
Statistical properties and spectra of sea waves --
Generation, transformation and deformation of random sea waves --
Design of vertical breakwaters --
Design of coastal dikes and seawalls --
Probabilistic design of breakwaters --
Harbor tranquility --
Hydraulic model tests with random waves --
Part II. Statistical theories of randon sea waves --
Description of random sea waves --
Statistical theory of irregular waves --
Techniques of irregular wave analysis --
2-D computation of wave transformation with random breaking and nearshore currents --
Part III. Statistical analysis of extreme waves --
Statistical analysis of extreme waves --
Part IV. Waves and beach morphology --
Coastline change and coastal reconnaissance --
Prediction and control of shoreline evolution --
Appendix.
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. In this book, the concept of random waves for the design of breakwaters, seawalls, and harbor structures is fully explored for easy comprehension by practicing engineers. Theoretical aspects are also discussed in detail for further studies by graduat students and researchers. --Book Jacket.
