『技術者のための海岸工学』(ISBN978-4-8446-0923-0)の増補英語版
This book is a technical reference for engineers, summarizing key points and covering a wide range of coastal engineering topics. Its features include:
(1) Incorporation of the latest research.
1) Wave estimation methods and existing open sources.
2) Estimating wave run-up heights and overtopping rates.
3) Damage reports from the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2011 Tohoku tsunami.
4) Evaluation methods for predicting beach topographic changes due to large waves.
5) Mechanisms, prediction models, and countermeasures for backfill material outflows.
6) Causes and countermeasures of coastal erosion.
7) Calculation formulas for tsunami force and drift impact force.
8) Numerical models of tsunami inundation area changes.
9) Countermeasures against microplastics and debris.
10) Types of wave power generation and examples.
(2) A set of programs and manuals for the following numerical models for predicting wave-induced topographic changes will be provided
1) shoreline changes
2) beach change due to large waves
3) topographic changes due to tsunamis.
The book aims to be a useful resource for engineers and practitioners in coastal engineering.
