Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the causes and effects of sand and shingle deposits that obstruct harbors and rivers. The author discusses the role of waves, currents, and scour in bar formation, drawing from both historical case studies and recent engineering projects. The book places the history of bar formation within a broader context of evolving engineering techniques, with the author examining examples of both successful and unsuccessful attempts at bar removal. Of particular interest is the author's account of his work improving Dublin's harbor, where he successfully employed induced tidal scour to deepen the approach channel. The book offers a detailed and practical examination of the causes and removal of bars. Whether you're a civil engineer, marine scientist, or simply interested in the history of engineering, this book will provide you with valuable insights into the complex processes that shape our coastlines.
