Overview

During the last two decades of the 20th century there was a considerable improvement in the design of port and berth structures. The purpose of this volume is to give guidelines and recommendations on some of the main design criteria for the planning and construction of modern port and berth structures. The book also includes material from many of the lectures by the author on berth and port structures in the Norwegian Institute of Technology, Department of Port and Ocean Engineering, Norway, Chalmers Institute of Technology, Department of Hydraulics, Sweden, and on postgraduate courses arranged by the Norwegian Society of Chartered Engineers. The key topics discussed include: ship dimensions and ship wind; layout of port and channels; manoeuvring and berthing operations; safety aspects in layout and design of berth structures; design loads on berth structures; solid and open berth structures; corrosion of steel sheet piles; fender design; and deterioration and repair of concrete in marine environments.
