Presentation of basic hydro and marine civil engineering structures together with basic computational procedures for determining environmental forces acting on a structure (vertical-wall breakwater, rubble mound breakwater, submarine pipelines weir, dam).

Lectures: Basic wave parameters, wave theories, progressive and standing wave,  wave reflection, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads acting on a vertical-wall breakwater, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic uplift force, stability conditions for a vertical-wall breakwater, rubble mound breakwater, Hudson formula, types of concrete armour units , wave run-up on inclined slope of breakwater. Hydraulics of spillways and outlets. Seepage. Concrete dam engineering – classification, requirements, loads. Embankment dam engineering – classification, requirements, loads. Energy dissipation. Drainages. Water power engineering – energy resources, types of hydropower, types of water turbines.

Excercises: Computation of: basic regular surface water wave parameters, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces acting on a vertical-wall breakwater, breakwater stability, reduced forces acting on a breakwater founded on a rip-rap foundation layer, weight of individual armour unit used for rubble mound breakwater protection. Hydraulic and stability calculations of low head hydraulic structure (weir) – discharge capacity of spillway, stilling basin, seepage, loads, stability.
