This text 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 a guide to the design, construction, rehabilitation, repair, and maintenance of port and harbour structures. Each chapter is self-contained, allowing readers to access specific information. The author draws on his 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; and structures that protect bridge piers from ship impact.
