4 0 3
Course Outcomes:
At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
CO1 : Explain the significance of port and harbours as a mode of
transport
CO2 : Demonstrate the fundamental principles of wave
hydrodynamics and port cargo handling.
CO3 : Demonstrate the basic design of port layout
CO4 : Design, plan and integrate port and harbour infrastructure.
CO5 : Explain the construction, maintenance and renovation aspects
of ports and inland waterways
UNIT-I
Introduction: Ports and harbours – an infrastructure layer between
two transport media, planning of ports and harbours.
The fundamentals: Waves, Tide and current conditions inside
harbour, water circulation; breakwaters, jetties and quay walls;
mooring, berthing and ship motion inside the port; model studies,
physical and mathematical studies.
UNIT-II
Design Issues: Sea port layout with regards to (1) wave action (2)
siltation (3) navigability berthing facilities.
Design of Port Infrastructures: Design of port infrastructures with
regards to (1) cargo handling (2) cargo storage (3) integrated transport
of goods, planning multipurpose port terminals.
UNIT-III
Port operations: Allowable wave conditions for cargo handling,
wave conditions for human safety on quays and breakwaters,
forecasting/nowcasting of wave and current conditions for port
operations, dredging and navigability, hazard scenarios; VTMS and
management of computerized container terminal, safety and
environment (handling of fire, oil spill, rescue, etc.).
