【刊行予定】Coastal EngineeringFor Engineers and Practitioners

This book is a handy technical book for engineers that summarises the main points in a concise manner and covers as wide a range of coastal engineering as possible.

The features of this book are as follows:
(1) We have tried to include the latest research as much as possible.
1) Introduction to the main wave estimation methods and existing open sources (including URLs for download).
2) Introduction to methods for estimating wave run-up heights and overtopping rates, considering wave grouping effects.
3) Reports on damage patterns based on field surveys of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2011 Tohoku tsunami.
4) Presentation of all evaluation methods for predicting beach topographic changes due to large waves and existing open sources (including URLs for download).
5) Introduction to the mechanism, prediction models and countermeasures for the outflow of backfill materials from coastal dikes and seawalls.
6) Introduction to the main causes and main countermeasures of coastal erosion.
7) Introduction of appropriate formulas for calculation of tsunami force and drift impact force.
8) Introduction of numerical models of topographic change of a tsunami inundation area and simple evaluation diagrams of building collapse.
9) Introduction of countermeasures against microplastics and other drifting debris.
10) Introduction to the main types of wave power generation and examples.

(2) A set of programs and manuals for the following numerical models for predicting wave-induced topographic changes will be provided
1) Numerical prediction model of shoreline changes
2) Numerical prediction model of beach change due to large waves
3) Numerical prediction model of topographic changes due to tsunamis.

We hope that interested readers will find this book “Coastal Engineering for Engineers and Practitioners” useful.
