This is volume one of a three volume set.
The Shore Protection Manual is in three volumes. Volume I describes the
physical environment in the Coastal zone starting with an introduction of
Coastal engineering, continuing with discussions of mechanics of wave
motion, wave and water level prédictions, and finally littoral processes.
Volume 11 translates the interaction of the physical environment and Coastal
structures into design parameters for use in the solution of Coastal
engineering problems. It discusses planning, analysis, structural features,
and structural design as related to physical factors, and shows an example
of a Coastal engineering problem which utilizes the technical content of
material presented in ail three volumes.
Volume III contains four appendixes including a glossary of Coastal
engineering ternis. a list ofsymbols. tables and plates, and a subject index.
