Pte Ltd., ©2000Edition: 2nd ed.Description: 1 online resource (464 p.) : ill.ISBN: 9789812385444.Uniform titles: Kōwan kōzōbutsu no taiha sekkei. English Subject(s): Offshore structures -- Design and construction | Coastal engineering | Water waves | Power spectra | Electronic booksDDC classification: 627.98 Online resources: Access to full text is restricted to subscribers. Summary: "Random waves are the most important constituent of the sea environment. They make the design of maritime structures quite different from that of structures on land. In this book, the concept of randomness in 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 graduate students and researchers. Several additions have been made to this second edition, including a new chapter on extreme wave statistics."--Publisher's website.
