Floods cause distress and damage wherever and whenever they happen. Flooding from rivers, estuaries and the sea threatens many millions of people worldwide and economic and insurance losses from flooding have increased significantly since 1990. Based on the work of leading researchers, this book provides an overview of advances in this important subject. It covers all aspects of flood risk including the causes of floods; their impacts on people, property and the environment; and portfolios of risk management measurement. Additional topics include climate change, estimation of extremes, flash floods, flood forecasting and warning, inundation modeling, systems analysis, uncertainty, international programs, and flood defense infrastructure and assets. The book also examines environmental, human, and social impacts; vulnerability and resilience; risk sharing; and civil contingency planning and emergency management.

The ICE Coasts, Maritime Structures and Breakwaters conference series, sponsored by the ICE for over thirty years, is the leading forum for the presentation of the latest developments in coastal and maritime engineering.The tenth conference, From Sea to Shore – Meeting the Challenges of the Sea, was the largest in the history of the series attracting over 450 delegates and 130 papers across 3 plenary and 27 parallel sessions. In addition, these proceedings retain the tradition of including full discussions from each session.Whilst retaining the historical coverage on shoreline structures and coastal processes, the conference extended the marine energy theme with emphasis on the civil and coastal engineering interface such as fluid loadings, resource modelling and interactions with the environment.The papers, presented across two volumes, are divided into three streams:The first stream covers topics such as breakwater design, construction, armouring, overtopping and lessons from historical structures.The second stream tackles beaches, coastal structures, processes and erosion, coastal protection structures and environment schemes, shoreline management and flood forecasting.The third stream explores hydrodynamics, wave structure interactions, numerical and physical odelling, new test facilities and techniques, and renewable energy schemes.With contributions from industry and academia and a wide range of case studies including the UK, Italy, Pakistan and Hong Kong, From Sea to Shore – Meeting the Challenges of the Sea provides an invaluable reference for engineers and researchers in the field today and for many years to come.

Piers, Jetties and Related Structures Exposed to Waves, Second Edition delivers guidelines for engineers to analyse and optimise pier and jetty designs. With ports now having to account for larger ship sizes, there is an increasing need for these marine structures to be longer and constructed in significantly deeper water. Increased construction costs, structures in exposed locations, and health and safety concerns are just some of the aspects that a coastal engineer must consider when designing and building new maritime structures.

This fully revised and updated edition provides full descriptions of the process covering:

guidance on hydraulic design, including design wave conditions, prediction of scour and vessel mooring loadsnew methods (developed from extensive laboratory testing) for the prediction of wave loading, including forces on the underside of jetty decksnew equations, graphs and coefficients for wave loadingsupdated coefficients for impulsive loadsrevised discussion on effects of trapped airexpanded discussion on scaling loads from hydraulic models.

With a vastly experienced team with associations to HR Wallingford, Piers, Jetties and Related Structures Exposed to Waves is the essential reading for maritime designers and consultants tasked with analysing, designing and constructing piers and jetties.
