Course Description

This course assumes that the continuing education engineer has completed Part 1 of this course titled “Marina Site Analysis”. As part of that course the engineer learned essential site analysis procedures that will be used as a basis for this course, which is Part 2. The course will now continue by taking the engineer thorough the process of designing the main components of a basic light commercial boat docking facility and “wave break”. In Part 1, a sample site was analyzed for Wind & Wave Exposure, Water Tidal (or Stage) levels, Possible Major Storm Conditions, and Site Soil Conditions. This continuing education program is intended to provide the design engineer with the essentials for the next logical steps of that process, which are:

1. Overview & Basic Layout of a Facility
2. Basic Assumptions, Design Loads & Formulae
3. Design of the Basic Pier Cross Section
4. Soil Conditions for Pile Supports
5. Lateral Load Considerations & Design
6. Design of a “Wave Break” Wall

These principals may be applied to a range of structures from simple recreational piers to light commercial facilities, with or without wave attenuation features. Each of the listed subjects will take the reader through the step by step process of performing that phase of the design and analysis and will discuss the respective level of service of the docking facility. The procedures laid out herein are suitable for very simple recreational docks to more sophisticated procedures required for light commercial docking facilities.
