  • The design of harbours, as with any other system design, must be an optimization process. In this study, a global examination of the different constraints in coastal engineering was performed and an optimization problem was defined. The problem has multiple objectives, and the criteria to be minimized are the structure cost and wave height disturbance inside a harbour. As concluded in this survey, the constraints are predefined parameters, mandatory constraints or optional constraints. All of these constraints are categorized into four categories: environmental, fluid mechanical, structural and manoeuvring.

  • When a typoon sets into harbour, a moored ship shows erratic motions and even mooring line failure may occur. such troubles may be caused by harbour resonance phenomena, resulting in large motion amplitudes at low frequency, which is close ti the natural frequency of th moored ship. The nonlinear motions of a ship moored to quay are simulated under external forces due to wave, current including mooring forces in time domain. The forces due to waves are obtained from source and dipole distribution method in the frequency domain. The current forces are calculated by using slow motion maneuvering equation in the horizontal plane. The wind forces are calculated from the empirical formula of ABS and the mooring forces of ropes and fenders are modeled as linear spring.

  • This study aims at examining the safety of the would-be approach channel of LNG Terminal at Kwangyang Harbour, by utilizing Captains 2000 port-design simulator. Six competent shipmasters or navigators participated in this study. The developed model ship was a 70,200DWT (138,000m3) LNG carrier. The environmental conditions were maximum flood-and-ebb current condition and wind condition. To evaluate the navigational safety, two categories were analyzed, which were measures of vessel's proximity and shiphandler's subjective evaluations. With respect to the effects of the worst environmental conditions on transit safety, it was concluded that the would-be approach channel was safe on basis of the support of four tugs of 3,200hp or more and current speed of 0.5knots or less.

  • Ship manoeuvring simulator has been widely utilized for training mariners, for assessing safety, for developing harbour and port, and for designing ships. We discuss a ship manoeuvring simulator which has been newly developed by Korea Maritime University. The simulator consists of simulator bridge and control console. All the computers used in the simulator are connected with one another by UDP or TCP network system. All the instruments are connected with interface computer by signal line which is controlled by RS232 communication protocol, or by voltage controlled A/D board. Next the mathematical model of ship manoeuvring motion in harbour areas, and ship and terrain modeling technique are also briefly discussed. Finally using the simulator an experiment of distance cognition and a simulation example of berthing/deberthing manoeuvre are shown.

  • Most of the real-time scheduling algorithms assume that all tasks are either preemptive or nonpreemptive. In this paper, we present a real-time scheduling algorithm for the more generalized task model in which each task contains both preemptive and nonpreemptive subtasks in a single processor environment. If the task set is found to be scheduling by the method of Harbour et al, it is also found to be scheduling by the proposed method. A simulation is used ti compare two methods and the result shows the maximum of 45% difference between them in their effectiveness.

  • Critics of height argue that it de-humanizes our cities. Yet a critical mass is a necessity for vibrant city life, and height is a key contributor. If we can overcome the environmental impacts and technicalities of building tall and dense, our cities' streets can thrive and prosper. To make this happen, we must move towards working together to share resources, so we can ensure the continuity of the public realm. We already have the tools to do this; the challenge lies in the coordination of the public and private institutions that govern urban space. District heating and cooling systems; shared logistics spaces; care, responsibility and ownership of the public realm between buildings; seamless connectivity between modes of transport; creative combinations of shelter and seating, and the placement of buildings so that they are not overbearing to the streets around them - these attributes can be found in many places, though rarely all at once. This paper looks at the development of the city and offers Barangaroo South, Sydney, which addresses all these aspects, as a potential template for future city planning.

  • This paper introduces a practical determination method for soil parameters adopted in the new performance based design code for port and harbour facilities in Japan. In the new port-design code, the depth profile of the derived values is modeled as the profile of the estimated values so as to be either the mean value or the regression line, then the correction factors are multiplied to the estimated value according to the coefficient of variation (if COV > 0.1) and the number of the data entries (if n < 10). The new port-design code is applied to the unconfined compression test results for the Hiroshima Port clay in order to evaluate the undrained shear strengths. From the discussion, it is emphasized that not only the statistic treatment but also the engineering judgment are required in the procedure of the soil parameter determination for the reliability design.

  • Two analytical solutions for oscillations in a rectangular harbour are presented. In this paper, the correct solution is obtained by use of matched asymptotic expansion method, which was first derived by Mei(1989). The other solution derived from eigenfunction expansion method is also presented, in which more accurate numerical integration is employed. In order to check the solutions, amplification factors inside the harbor are calculated and plotted by both analytical methods and numerical boundary integral equation method.
