Slide2HARBOUR DOCK ENGINEERING
HARBOR: A harbour may be natural or partly dug out, or even made with floating materials. It doesn't have gates, but may have a narrow entrance. Provides safe anchoring or mooring for ships

Slide3HARBOUR DOCK ENGINEERING
PORTS:A port is a location on a coast or shore containing one or more harbors where ships can dock and transfer people or cargo to or from land.
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide4HARBOUR DOCK ENGINEERING
DOCK:A dock is dug out and usually has gates so that the water level is kept up even though the tide has gone out.A dock is for mooring ships for cargo or passenger exchange, or sometimes repair.

Slide5WHAT CAUSES THE TIDES?
Tides are periodic rises and falls of large bodies of water. Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction between the Earth and the Moon.
Tides
are the cyclic rising and falling of Earth's ocean surface causedby the tidal forces of the Moon and the Sun acting on the Earth.Tides cause changes in the depth of the sea and produce oscillating currents known as tidal streams, making prediction of tides important forcoastal navigation.The strip of seashore that is submerged at high tide and exposed at low tide,the intertidal zone, is an important ecological product of ocean tides.

Slide6gravitational force
The Moon's
gravity
differential
field
at the surface of the earth is known as the Tide Generating Force.This is the primary mechanism that drives tidal action and explains two bulges, accounting for two high tides per day.Other forces, such as the Sun's gravity, also add to tidal action.
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide7Tides
The rhythmic rise and fall of the ocean’s water
High tide
= rising, incoming tide, flow
Low tide
= receding, outgoing tide, ebb Slack tide = vertical movement stops
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide8Tides are very long, slow wavesThey have a wave period of 12 hours 25 minTidal day is 24 hours 50 min
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide9Spring Tides
The Sun's Interaction with the Tides
Spring tides are especially strong tides (they do not have anything
to do with the season Spring). They occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line. The gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun both contribute to the tides. Spring tides occur during the full moon and the new moon.
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide10Neap Tides
Neap tides are especially weak tides.
They occur when the gravitational forcesof the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular to one another (with respect to the Earth).Neap tides occur during quarter moons.

Slide12Waves
A disturbance which moves through or over the surface of a fluidMostly caused by winds (Also earthquakes, volcanoes, grav. pull)Form of great energy
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide13Wave Characteristics
Parts of a WaveCrest = high pointTrough = low pointHeight = vertical distance from crest to troughWavelength = Horizontal distance between crest to crest or trough to trough
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide14Size of Wind Generated Waves
Depends on 3 things:Wind SpeedWind Duration (length of time wind blows)“Fetch” Extent of open water across which the wind can blow
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide15Water Motion in Waves
Water travels in vertical circular orbitsWave moves, particles don’t!

Slide16Importance of Waves

Slide18Waves entering shallow water
As waves enter shallow water, they slow down, grow taller and change shape.
At a depth of half its wave length, the rounded waves start to rise and their crests become shorter while their troughs lengthen. Although their period (frequency) stays the same, the waves slow down and their overall wave length shortens. The 'bumps' gradually steepen and finally break in the surf when depth becomes less than 1.3 times their height. Note that waves change shape in depths depending on their wave length, but break in shallows relating to their height!
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide19Wave decay: waves loose energy as they move away from the generating area, resulting in decreased wave height and increased wavelength period.Wave diffractionWave breakingWave reflectionTidal bores

Slide20HARBOUR DOCK ENGINEERING
CLASSIFICATION: 1. NATURAL HARBOUR 2. SEMI NATURAL HARBOUR 3. ARTIFICIAL HARBOUR
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide21HARBOUR DOCK ENGINEERING
NATURAL HARBOURS: A harbor, is a place where ships, boats, and barges can seek shelter from stormy weather.
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide22N.NIRKKUNA
Slide23HARBOUR DOCK ENGINEERING
SEMI NATURAL HARBOUR: Same as natural but harbour needs some artificial and man made construction
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide24HARBOUR DOCK ENGINEERING
ARTIFICIAL HARBOUR: Harbour having no natural protection but artificial arrangement are made to protect the harbour from storm and wind.

Slide26HARBOUR DOCK ENGINEERING
FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION: 1. HARBOR OF REFUGE 2. COMMERCIAL HARBOR 3. FISHERY HARBOR 4. MILITTARY HARBOR OR NAVAL BASE
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide27HARBOUR DOCK ENGINEERING
HARBOR OF REFUGE: The harbor used for ships in storms or emergency condition. good anchorage and safe and easy access from the sea.

Slide29FISHERY HARBOUR:Provided for fishing crafts and trawlers.
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide30HARBOUR DOCK ENGINEERING
MILLITARY HARBOR: This harbor is meant for accommodating naval crafts and serves as a supply deport. The layout of this type of harbor is greatly influenced by its location.

Slide33REQUIREMENTS OF A GOOD HARBOR:
The depth of a harbor should be sufficient for every type of visiting ships.The bottom of harbor should provide secured anchorage to hold the ships against high winds.To prevent destructive wave action, break water are provided.The entrance of a harbor should be wide enough to provide the easy passage of ships.
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide34LOCATION AND DESIGN PRINCIPLES
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide35At the time of selection for a harbour, great care should be exercised. Following categories play a great role in the choice of site for a harbour. Availability of cheap land and construction material.Natural protection from waves and winds. Transport and communication facilities. Industrial development of the locality.Sea bed, sub soil and foundation conditions.Availability of fresh water and electrical energy.
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide36Favorable marine conditions.Defense and strategic aspects.Traffic potentiality of the harbor. The site should have maximum natural protection from winds and waves. It should have sufficiently large pool of water, with adequate depth to accommodate the expected shipping needs as well as to permit the future needs. The marine conditions should be favorable for structures as well as for navigation. To meet this requirement the site should have low tidal range and small tidal currents.
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide37There should not be severe wind and waves and there should be less littoral drift etc. Also there should be no fog problem at the site. The sea bed should be such that it would hold ship anchors and would not involve much capital and dredging maintenance cost. There should not be excessive situation nor scour should pose a problem. Apart from above conditions, the sub-soil for foundation purposes should be favorable. The site to be selected should be preferably on an established trade route and have trade links with other parts of the country through rail,road
N.NIRKKUNA
Slide38air and telephone etc. The hinter land should be productive enough to support the trade.

Slide53Spring fenders
In boating, a fender is a bumper used to absorb the kinetic energy of a boat or vessel berthing against a jetty, quay wall or other vessel. Fenders are used to prevent damage to boats, vessels and berthing structures.Fenders are typically manufactured out of rubber, foam elastomer or plastic.
