Desired learning outcomes: 1. Basic principles of wave mechanics and coastal hydraulics. 2. Design guidelines of port facilities layout. 3. Failure modes and design principles of harbour works. 4. Design of breakwaters, quays and pylons.
Specific knowledge and competences: 1. Knowledge and understanding of essential facts, concepts, principles and theories relating to the action of wind waves in the coastal zone. 2. Application of such knowledge in analysis of wind data and computation of “design wave”. 3. Application of methodologies in the design of breakwaters, quays and pylons. 4. Synthesis and application of knowledge to the preliminary design of a harbour project.
