Piers, jetties and related structures exposed to waves: guidelines for hydraulic loadings

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. Contents: Introduction; Definitions of exposed jetties, typical locations and exposures; Aspects of design; Wave forces on vertical elements; Wave forces on horizontal elements; Berthing and mooring loads; Scour; Other design and construction issues; References.
