ABOUT THE BOOK CONTENT

This book is an outcome of extensive experience in design office and of construction. Both the   1 : SEA AND TIDES
authors have been actively associated with academics as well.   2 : HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYS AND CHARTS
  3 : WINDS, WAVES AND CYCLONES
The book deals with all the normal port aspects in a holistic way. Topics, such as “Ship Fea-   4 : SILTATION AND EROSION
tures”, “Traffic Forecasting and Hinterland”, “Cargo Handling Equipment”, “Construction Materi-   5 : INVESTIGATIONS AND MODEL TESTS
als” etc. are essential back-ground knowledge for any dock and harbour engineer. These too   6 : SHIP FEATURES RELATED TO PORT PLANNING
have been covered.   7 : TRAFFIC FORECASTING AND HINTERLAND
  8 : HARBOUR LAYOUT
For easy reading, the book is divided into self-contained chapters dealing with each topic. It
  9 : CHANNEL, BASIN AND BERTHS
contains useful tables of data and is profusely illustrated with diagrams and photographs to as- 10 : BREAKWATERS
sist the reader. Fundamental concepts are lucidly presented and derived and empirical formulae 11 : WHARVES
given with clarity of underlying assumptions. 12 : JETTIES, DOLPHINS AND MOORINGS
Two case histories have been dealt in this Revised Edition. One is design of a waterfront struc- 13 : BERTHS FOR CRUDE OIL AND PETROLEUM

all the design calculations along with the stress/force diagrams are included. The second “case” 17 : DRY DOCKS AND SLIPWAYS
is of another waterfront structure, a Sea Water Intake Station. The salient information for deter- 18 : CARGO HANDLING EQUIPMENT

are meant for the students with inquisitive minds and the practicing engineers seeking guidance 20 : SUPPORTING FACILITIES AND ANCILLARIES
when faced with not so usual problems. 21 : NAVIGATIONAL AIDS
Other cogent information has been included in the form of Appendices. Some of these are: 22 : DREDGING AND DREDGERS

“Ships for LPG – LNG and Other Bulk Liquids”, “Properties of Liquids and Liquefied Gases”,
24 : DESIGN OF A BERTH (WHARF) – A CASE STUDY
“Details of Selected Ships”, “Coastal Regulation Zone” and “Port Charges”. These should be
