Appendix
N2  - 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
