Marine structures fail in ways that ordinary buildings never encounter: cyclic wave loading, chloride-driven corrosion, scour, and vessel impact combine to test the limits of structural design. This course builds the analytical and practical foundation needed to design, assess, and maintain structures that must survive decades of relentless marine exposure.
What You Will Learn
- 1 Learn the fundamentals of marine environments, tides, waves, and their structural implications
- 2 Understand loading conditions unique to marine structures including hydrodynamic and berthing forces
- 3 Apply materials science principles to selecting durable materials for marine exposure
- 4 Analyze foundation systems for piers, wharves, and offshore platforms
- 5 Develop design competency for quay walls, jetties, and breakwaters
- 6 Explore corrosion mechanisms and cathodic protection systems for marine steel and concrete
- 7 Build proficiency in scour assessment and countermeasure design
- 8 Implement construction methodologies specific to underwater and tidal zone work
- 9 Create inspection and maintenance programs for aging marine infrastructure
- 10 Apply risk-based approaches to marine structure lifecycle management and resilience planning
