Coastal and Offshore Infrastructure Engineering

3 Credits

Characterization of interactions between natural and built environments to design resilient coastal and offshore infrastructure. Topics include hydraulic loading under regular and extreme conditions; fluid-soil-structure interaction on rigid, flexible and floating infrastructure; and design recommendations for infrastructure such as coastal bridges, breakwaters, ports, offshore platforms, and devices harvesting energy from renewable sources. Theoretical, experimental, and numerical approaches to model fluid-soil-structure systems will be introduced. Students may not receive credit for both CEE 335 and CEE 435 . Prerequisites: ( CEE 122 or ME 231 ) and ( CEE 059 or MECH 012 )
