| Aim: To enable the students to assess erosion and sedimentation problems in relation to engineering projects in rivers and along coasts |
| Contents: Basic concepts: critical bed shear stress, bed load transport and suspended load transport in current and in waves. Bed forms (dunes and sand waves) and their significance for the flow resistance and sediment transport. Large scale morphology in rivers (meandering and braiding). Long- and cross-shore wave-induced currents. Sediment transport along coasts. Coastal morphology (bars, rip channels, coastline development). Transport of fine cohesive sediments. Design and construction of structures in rivers and coastal areas. Dredging, navigation channels, environmental aspects of dredging operations. Design and choice of structures: rubble mound breakwaters, monolithic structures, coastal protection, dikes. Scour protection in harbours and around structures. Quays and piers. River regulation. |
