| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
Fundamental items related to river engineering (i.e. mathematics of flood flow, characteristics of flood disasters, flood control, river basin planning, nature restoration, and sediment transport management) and coastal engineering (i.e., coastal processes, wave shoaling, irregular wave, tsunami, storm surge, tidal wave, wave force) and basics of sediment-transport related to both river/coastal engineering are taught. |
|||
| Course Goals | Our goal is a systematic understanding of fundamental aspects of river/coastal engineering. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
Flood Control Planning [Lec:4times]: Rivers and river engineering (why river engineering is important, history of human involvement in rivers, characteristics of recent floods), flood flow hydraulics (building bridge from hydraulics to river engineering), inundation analysis (hazard map), river topography (riverbed morphology) and river channel shape (ruler cross-section, embankment), river law and flood control planning (river maintenance basic policy and river improvement plan), and river structures (dams, weirs, sluices and gates) are outlined. River Environment Planning [Lec:2times]: Ecosystem services and river ecosystem management, nature oriented river works, environmental improvement below dams, integrated sediment management (erosion control, reservoir sedimentation/sediment removal, river channel management), and integrated basin management (River Basin Disaster Resilience and Sustainability by All, Eco-DRR) are outlined. Movable bed hydrodynamics [Lec:2times]: Outlines of River bed fluctuation and beach deformation analysis, and basics of bed and suspended load models are outlined. Wave statistics and wave deformation [Lec:2times]: Mechanism of wave generation and development and engineering treatment of irregular waves are outlined. Transformation mechanisms of ocean waves near the coast due to water depth variation are outlined. Wave force and wave resistant design [Lec:2times]: The characteristics of waves acting on coastal structures, the formula for calculating the wave force and the stability of rubble mound breakwaters are outlined. An overview of numerical design of wave resistant structures is given, and the latest numerical simulation models are also discussed. Tsunami and storm surge[Lec:2times]: The characteristics of tsunamis and storm surges are outlined. Evacuation behavior and plans for tsunami evacuation are also outlined. Achievement confirmation: Comprehensive assessment will be conducted. Feedback |
