Fundamentals of Port Engineering
Port engineering primarily deals with the design construction operation management and maintenance of ports overlapping with many other disciplines. This book provides an introductory text to prospective (graduate) port engineers and presents a wide variety of port subjects for practicing engineers. It covers almost all topics related to port engineering in a fundamental way including dredging marine aids to navigation environmental issues containers liquid bulk dry bulk general cargo multipurpose roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) fishing and ferry terminals. Discussions are targeted at a conceptual design level. Other features: Aspects of port engineering are discussed including shipping maritime trade environmental aspects (such as climate change) resilience of ports nature-based solutions and port management (such as security equipment slurry pumping and so forth) Illustrates the design of port terminals Discusses site selection for a new port the factors to be considered and ways to compare different potential port sites Explores asset management and repair of marine structures Includes case studies from around the world examples and practical and user-friendly guidelines | Fundamentals of Port Engineering
