1995, 548 p.

Marine Structures Engineering is designed to help engineers meet the growing worldwide
demand for construction of new ports and the modernization of existing ports and
terminals. It provides an authoritative guide to the design, construction, rehabilitation,
repair, and maintenance of port and harbor structures. Each chapter is self-contained,
allowing readers to access specific information. The Author draws on his extensive
experience in offshore structure and port engineering to demonstrate evaluation,
rehabilitation, repair, and maintenance of in-service marine structures. Also covered in
detail are state-of-the-art approaches to: *marine structures in cold regions, with special
attention to the role of ice loads, permafrost, and other ice effects *shiplifts, marine
railways, shipways, and dry docks *offshore moorings *floating breakwaters *marinas
*structures that protect bridge piers from ship impact. Offering practical information on all
aspects of marine structures, this book serves as an indispensable resource to all engineers
and professionals involved in design, construction, maintenance, and modernization of
ports and harbors.
