Coastal Engineering aims at providing knowledge and competences for planning and design of structures at sea for beach and harbour protection and other applications in the coastal areas.
A detailed knowledge of the following topics is provided: 1) main meteoceanographical loadings, such as waves, tides, winds and currents; 2) coastal morphologic features; 3) statistical analysis of wave records; 4) models of interactions between waves and beaches and structures; 5) preliminary design of breakwaters.
After the course the students shall be able of: 1) developing statistical analyses on meteoceanographic data, to provide inputs for the design activities; 2) provide a preliminary design of a rubble mound and vertical breakwaters; 3) evaluate the morphodynamic conditions of a beach and the possible protection systems.
