Port and Harbour Structures

Focusing on the design aspects of ports and harbour structures, including shipyards, this book details various Indian codes and compares them with prevalent international standards. It covers the estimation of loads acting on the system, as well as the design of slipways, marine travel lifts and ship lifts. Sediment transport and the movement of shoals are illustrated with typical examples for green port development, including capital dredging and disposal. The book also explains procedures and documentation required for environmental clearance, along with EIA/EMP guidelines and case studies on rehabilitation and retrofitting. Additionally, it includes spreadsheets for various design calculations such as beam, pile, crack width and fixity depth.
