CE3044 Coastal Engineering Syllabus:

CE3044 Coastal Engineering Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

 To provide the students the knowledge of coastal environment and to determine the characteristics of waves.
 To provide the students the knowledge of wave transformation, sediment transport, coastal protection measures and coastal structure design.

UNIT I COASTAL ENVIRONMENT

Beaches – Coastal features – Coastal Zonation – EEZ -Inshore and Offshore Areas – Mean Sea level – Basics of Tides and Waves – Coastal Morphology.

UNIT II WAVES DYNAMICS

Basics of waves – Classification – Wave Theory – Physical Characteristics of different types of waves – Linear Wave Theory – Wave celerity – Velocities -Accelerations – Displacements – Wave dynamics in shallow and deep water conditions.

UNIT III NEARSHORE WAVE TRANSFORMATION

Shoaling, refraction, diffraction and breaking– Interaction currents and waves- near shore currentswave run-up and overtopping

UNIT IV SEDIMENT DYNAMICS AND TRANSPORT

Introduction to sediments, Sediment Analysis, types and sizes of sediments, sedimentation processes, sediment Supply & movement – Cross-shore sediment transport – Long shore sediment transport – Shoreline Changes – Shoreline Evolution – Erosion & Accretion.

UNIT V SHORE PROTECTION

Design of shore defense structures; Hard Engineering measures – Sea walls, Revetments, Bulkheads, Dikes, Groynes, Breakwaters; Soft Engineering measures – Artificial Reefs, Beach nourishment, Dune regeneration, Salt marsh Creation, Bioshields – Case studies

TOTAL:45 PERIODS
COURSE OUTCOME:
