TRAINING.

Overview

After participating in the course, you will be able to:

• Understand harbour engineering and apply your knowledge in planning small and commercial harbours and solving problems of waves overtopping due to climate change.
• Access the design of the main breakwater and gravity quay wall.

Description
Harbour engineering deals with the planning of different harbour types and the structural design of the harbour elements. Planning includes: breakwaters alignment, specifications of the navigation channel, entrance, water area, and land area.

Participants are expected to understand the fundamentals and be able to design the main harbour elements, breakwater, and gravity quay wall.

Course Outline

• Wave force on the vertical breakwater.
• Types of harbours and their characteristics.
• Planning of various types of harbours.
• Design of main and secondary breakwaters.
• Design of gravity berthing wall.
• Study cases and effect of climate change on harbour safety.

Who Should Attend

Civil engineers and Architects • Contractors • Government Officials • People working in the tourism and fishing industry • Harbour authorities and marine personnel.

Special Features and Requirements
Participants are not required to have previous knowledge of harbour engineering. Civil engineers may review their elementary soil mechanics course.
