Planned water depth is considered as
follows: For a ship with draft of 7.5m,
find the standard water depth of berth
for the Ship.
- Standard water depth of berth for
the ship (-7.5m) + Design low tide (-
0.35m) = 7.85m
- Standard water depth of berth for
the ship (5.5m) + Design low tide (-
0.55m) = 6.05m
- Standard water depth of berth for
the ship (7.5m) + Design low tide
(0.35m) = 7.85m
- Standard water depth of berth for
the ship (5.5m) + Design low tide (-

Unsafe Condition
- These are circumstances or deviation
from standard condition which could
permit an occurence of accident or
incident.

bituminuous material to an existing
bituminuous, Portland cement, or block
surface or base.
- It is the single most important
environmental factor in the broad field
of coastal engineering.
Gravity Waves
- Waves are formed by the frictional
drag of wind across the water surface.
This is a process of transferring energy
from wind to water. Water particles are
moved from their position by the wind,
and then return to its original position
by gravity, which is restoring force.
