Innovative development of coastal, port and marine engineering

Increase of water depths, use of new huge vessels, essential loads and toughened operational requirements stipulate rise in construction cost of coastal, port and marine structures. So, development of innovations for these structures at the stages of design, construction and operation is actual to decrease erecting cost, time of building and maintenance expenses. This book of two leading researchers in port, coastal and geotechnical engineering in Ukraine presents innovations and improvements both in theoretical and applied aspects of marine structures and related construction technologies. Proposed developments relate to all types of such structures: quay walls, piers, breakwaters, retaining walls, port and offshore berthing facilities, etc. Innovative solutions improve design approaches (both static and dynamics) for systems “structure-soil-water” as well as construction methods for their implementation. Practical aspects of their implementation are considered for conditions of different sea and river ports. Book may be interesting for coastal, marine, port and geotechnical engineers, contractors, designers and researchers as well as for postgraduate and PhD students.
