What Is Coastal Engineering?

Various construction projects in the coastal zone are an important part of marine engineering. It mainly includes coastal engineering, harbour engineering, estuary management engineering, marine dredging engineering and coastal protection engineering, coastal tidal power generation engineering, marine farming, environmental protection engineering and fishery engineering. Buildings and related facilities are mostly constructed in shallow waters along the coast. Due to the complex underwater terrain and the impact of runoff into the sea, currents, waves, and tides have been significantly deformed, forming breaking waves, tidal waves, coastal currents, and drifting sand. Especially when storm surges occur, the sea conditions are extremely sinister , Causing severe damage to coastal engineering and even causing damage. In cold regions, it is also affected by freezing and drifting ice.

According to the "People's Republic of China Regulations on the Prevention and Control of Pollution Damage to the Marine Environment of Coastal Engineering Construction Projects," coastal engineering construction projects refer to new construction, reconstruction, Expansion project. This includes:

In coastal engineering construction, tests are performed on site and buildings. It is used to explore the possibility and rationality of coastal engineering facilities, and to explore the dynamic characteristics of marine dynamic factors and the evolution rules of shores and beaches, as well as the laws of interaction between them and coastal engineering buildings or other facilities, to provide science for the implementation of coastal engineering in accordance with. This is an important method for studying coastal engineering.

The structures of buildings for coastal engineering can be divided into 4 types: slope type, straight wall type, through-air type and floating type. No matter which one

Construction on the coast to renovate marine land and develop marine resources. According to the purpose of construction: bank protection project: to resist the attack of waves and tidal water, to protect the bank and beach from erosion (see "bank protection project", "artificial beach"); tidal barrier project: to prevent seawater backflow and protect fresh water resources (see "Tidal Barrier"); Port and waterway engineering: development of maritime transportation for sailing, berthing, loading and unloading of cargo, transporting passengers and replenishing; marine energy development projects: such as the construction of tidal, tidal power stations, wave power plants, etc. Tidal flats and marine aquaculture projects: engineering facilities for cultivating animals and plants in the tidal zone, intertidal zone, or shallow seas using seawater functions (see "Marine Aquaculture Project", "Tidal Flat Aquaculture Project"); Offshore Engineering ") and so on. The narrow sense generally refers to shore and beach protection projects, whose main buildings include spurs, seawalls, submarine or offshore dykes. ^[3]
