Sponsored by Ports and Harbors Task Committee on Underwater Investigation of the Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and River Institute of ASCE. Underwater Investigation provides guidance for those involved in underwater structural inspection. It presents guidelines representing standards of practice, documentation and reporting, and administrative considerations for various inspection types, including new construction, baseline, routine, repair design, special, repair construction, and postevent inspections. The first of several extensive appendices provides guidelines for the inspection of unique underwater structure types, including bridges, open-piled structures, gravity and retaining structures, marinas, hydraulic structures, pipelines and conduits, dry docks, locks and gates, floating structures, breakwaters, tower bases, moorings and anchors, tanks and storage facilities, and cathodic protection systems. Subsequent appendices include types and causes of defects and deterioration commonly found in underwater concrete structures, steel structures, wooden structures, masonry structures, composite structural components, and undermining and scour; references for obtaining in-depth information on the structure types; and an extensive glossary of key terms.

Sponsored by the Ocean Engineering Committee, Rubble Mound and Breakwater Committee, and Coastal Practice Committee of the Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute of ASCE. This report is a compendium of 10 papers addressing the state-of-the-art advances in coastal structure design by internationally renowned authors. The papers focus on the tools and techniques used to analyze coastal processes and design engineering solutions to them. Topics include: coastal structure debate: public and policy aspects; international perspectives on coastal structure uses; geotechnical consideration for coastal structure design; numerical modeling as a design tool for coastal structures; physical modeling considerations for coastal structures; selection of a design wave height for coastal engineering; historical overview of rubble mound structure design and construction; advances in breakwater and revetment design; design aspects of groins and jetties; application of coastal engineering in coastal zone management.

Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Ports and Harbors of the Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute of ASCE Waterfront Facilities Inspection and Assessment supplies engineers with guidelines and tools for inspecting and evaluating the condition of waterfront structures located in seawater and freshwater environments. Inspections are essential to an effective waterfront facility management program that ensures public safety, reliable service, environmental protection, and reduced maintenance costs. Because distress to a waterfront structure may not be recognizable from above water, the inspection must include an assessment of the extent and severity of deterioration from above and underwater. This Manual of Practice provides guidance on eight different types of inspection and explains how to match inspection types to project needs. It considers existing waterfront facilities that are constructed of concrete, masonry, metals, composites and wood; facility locations may be near-shore, waterfront, riverine, or inland. Guidelines are not limited to the structure alone, but rather include comprehensive coverage of all aspects of the facility, including fender systems, mechanical and electrical utilities, appurtenant structures, and anchor systems. Recommendations on standards of practice and estimation of service life are included, as well as discussions of documentation, reporting, and several administrative issues. An extensive appendix addresses special considerations for a variety of specific structure types and systems, such as fixed utilities, equipment, mooring hardware, topside paving and drainage, and safety features. Other appendixes outline the types and causes of defects; decribe specialized inspection techniques, such as infrared thermography and ground-penetrating radar; and define of inspection nomenclature and key terms. Covering the engineering and technical requirements for conducting above water and underwater facility assessments, MOP 130 is a valuable, comprehensive resource for owners, operators, and engineers involved in operating, maintaining, inspecting, and repairing waterfront structures.

Prepared by the Task Committee on Inland Navigation: Environmental Sustainability of the Waterways Committee of the Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute (COPRI)of ASCE Inland Navigation: Environmental Sustainability provides the current state of environmental preservation procedures for inland waterways. It presents an overview of ecosystem sustainability procedures currently used. This technical report examines environmental considerations for construction, as well as operation and restoration of inland freshwater waterways in the continental United States, which includes the lower Mississippi and lower Columbia rivers. Topics include•Hydrology and hydraulics;•Sedimentation, dredging, and disposal;•Water quality;•Habitat (aquatic, terrestrial, wetlands);•Migratory fish and birds;•Historic preservation; and•Restoration and environmental laws directed to waterway design and operation. This report is a valuable reference for those involved with waterway design and operations and will be of use as an educational text for the academic community.
