Construction risk in coastal engineering Construction risk in coastal engineering
J. Simm, I. Cruickshank, 1998, Thomas Telford
Ref: ISBN 0727726862

Construction Risk in Coastal Engineering is the first book to concentrate on the risk that occur during coastal construction and on the mitigation measures that can be embraced to control or reduce the impact of these risks.

Piers, jetties and related structures exposed to waves: guidelines for hydraulic loadings Piers, jetties and related structures exposed to waves: guidelines for hydraulic loadings
K. McConnell, W. Allsop, I. Cruickshank , 2004, Thomas Telford
Ref: ISBN 072773265X
This book not only brings together existing guidance on hydraulic design, including design wave conditions, prediction of scour and vessel mooring loads, but also presents new methods (developed from extensive laboratory testing) for the prediction of wave loading, including forces on the underside of jetty deck.

Risk levels in coastal and river engineering: a guidance framework for design Risk levels in coastal and river engineering: a guidance framework for design
I. Mockett, J. Simm , 2002, Thomas Telford
Ref: ISBN 0727731647

The cost of ever more frequent floods, landslides and erosion on coastal and fluvial structures is considerable. Through more detailed consideration of the risks and their acceptability, the engineering community could make a 5% saving in the whole life costs of coastal and fluvial engineering projects, amounting to £250 million annually in the UK alone. This publication sets out ot provide clear guidance to clients, project funders, designers and other interested parties on the process of setting acceptable risk levels. The book illustrates the importance of involving all stakeholders in the setting of acceptable risk levels throughout the design process.

Whole life costs and project procurement in port, coastal and fluvial engineering Whole life costs and project procurement in port, coastal and fluvial engineering
J. Simm, N. Masters, 2003, Thomas Telford
Ref: ISBN 0727732323
There is a clear need in port, coastal and fluvial engineering to gain an understanding of the costs incurred throughout the life of a particular structure or engineering scheme. A better understanding of these costs will lead to more informed decisions at the project appraisal stage and result in more cost-effective project choices. Whole life costing encourages the choice of solution with the optimum balance between capital and maintenance costs.

Packing and voids for rock armour in breakwaters Packing and voids for rock armour in breakwaters
T.P. Stewart, S.D. Newberry, J.P. Latham, J.D. Simm, 2003, HR Wallingford
Ref: SR621
This study was concerned with rock armouring, as widely used on coastal defence structures and breakwaters throughout the UK. Although there are well established procedures in place for designing such armouring, they have been based largely on observations made of bulk-placed rocks. In practice, rocks can be individually placed and packed together to a greater or lesser degree. The current design procedures do not fully take into account of such placement methods.

Coastal morphology modelling Coastal morphology modelling
H.N. Southgate, A.H. Brampton, 2001, HR Wallingford
Ref: SR570
Much of this manual is based on work carried out in the MAFF-funded CAMELOT (Coastal Area Modelling for Engineering in Long Term) research programme. It starts with a description of the wide range of methods used to explain and predict the evolution of beaches and the nearshore seabed.

Simplified calculation of wave orbital velocities Simplified calculation of wave orbital velocities
R.L. Soulsby, 2006, HR Wallingford
Ref: TR155
Many coastal problems require the calculation of wave-induced orbital velocities at the sea-bed. Various methods for calculating orbital velocities, including some new approximations, are given in this report.

Bed shear-stresses under combined waves and currents on smooth and rough beds Bed shear-stresses under combined waves and currents on smooth and rough beds
R.L. Soulsby, S. Clarke, 2005, HR Wallingford
Ref: TR137
Produced within Defra project FD1905 (EstProc), this report describes the development and testing of a new method of calculating the mean, maximum and root-mean-square bed shearstresses due to combined waves and currents.
