Coastal Engineering and Construction

摘要

Coastal engineering is a discipline of civil engineering that deals with the unique challenges of building near or on the coast, as well as the development of the coast itself. The hydrodynamic influence of waves, tides, storm surges, and tsunamis, as well as the (often) harsh environment of salt seawater, are common issues for coastal engineers, as are morph dynamic changes in the coastal topography, which are induced by both natural and man-made changes. Ocean and sea coasts, seas, marginal seas, estuaries, and large lakes are all regions of interest in coastal engineering. Coastal engineers are frequently involved in integrated coastal zone management, in addition to the design, construction, and maintenance of coastal infrastructure.
