coastal engineering. It covers a range of topics including the design and analysis of coastal structures, wave predictions, sediment transport, and environmental fluid mechanics. The book serves as an introductory text aimed at students and professionals in civil engineering, focusing on solving engineering problems in the coastal environment. It includes chapters on regular and random waves, winds, tides, tsunamis, and storm surges, along with design considerations for coastal structures. The book also addresses coastal flooding and erosion, offering practical examples and problem-solving exercises. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"This study, first published in 1968, was one of the first books on Canada's urban development, bringing together the viewpoints of professionals who had studied various aspects of city growth--economic, social, geographic, political. The book demonstrates the effectiveness and potential of the cross-disciplinary approach and will prove useful to all those interested in the future of our cities."--Provided by publisher. |
