Design and Construction of Port and Waterfront Course
Introduction:
Course Objectives:
This course is aimed to provide the attendants with information on the movement of water and its impact on the seashore and how to move the soil under the marine protection facilities and the design practice of the coastal and offshore structures and how those structures are designed. Different software used to analyze the data will be highlighted.
Who Should Attend?
This course is designed for construction supervisors, civil engineers, and inspectors.
Course Outlines:
Coastal engineering
- The physical processes of the sea.
- Coastal regions.
- The movements of sediments due to the water in motion.
- Interaction between interventions and man-made structures and the physical environment.
Breakwater projects
- 2D flume tests and 3D physical model tests.
- define soil improvement works
Waterfront developments
- Development of existing ports and harbours.
- The study and design of large-scale dredging.
Risk and decision support
- Development risks.
- risks, construction risk
- operational risks,
- financial risks
- Revenue risks.
Design tools introduction
- LITPACK: is a state-of-the-art numerical model for the simulation of shoreline developments including erosion and accretion.
- HOLEBASE: is a database system for geotechnical data. It allows for proper storing and analyses of data and presentations in AutoCAD
- SESAM: is a finite element program used for analysis and design of steel jackets structures.
- OPTIMOOR: is a computer program for the analysis of vessel moorings.
The design of port and/or an approach channel
Encompasses
- Ship handling
- Maritime engineering (to a desired level of navigability and safety).
Assessment of a number of key elements
- Vessel size
- Behavior
- Human factors in ship handling
- Effects of the physical environment.
- Cathodic protection of critical offshore marine structure.
Designing the layout of a port's main water area
- The alignment and width of approach channels and port entrances.
- The depth of approach channels.
- Size and shape of maneuvering spaces within the port, with particular reference to the stopping swinging areas.
Construction methods for below the water table construction
- Aligning framing used for timber pile bent.
- Realigning pile by jetting.
- Aligning and capping steel pile bents.
