Aims
To critically review and appraise specific application and solution of river and coastal problems.
This module develops critical analysis skills of river and coastal engineering. It examines river and coastal engineering works, in particular flood risk assessment, structures and flood propagation.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Critically appraise and analyses flood risk and assessment and tools.
2.
Critically evaluate the design and operation of flood alleviation measures.
3.
Critically appraise river and coastal engineering works and suggest improvements.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Tides, wind and waves and anthropogenic causes of flooding.
Design of river Structures and structures for Coastal Defence.
River restoration and design of defences against both river and coastal flooding
Advanced hydrology, flood and precipitation frequency analysis and Flood routing.
Groundwater and interaction with river and coastal systems.
Climate change assessment, River erosion, sedimentation, scouring and irrigation. River and Coastal Ecosystems. Case studies.
Use of numerical models for flood risk mapping.
Module Overview:
This module develops advanced techniques for evaluating and understanding the behaviour of engineering river and coastal systems under various conditions. The module further develops critical skills in understanding river and coastal engineering, with a particular emphasis on flooding risk assessment , using suitable methods of design, and materials use.
