During the 19th century, the engineering of ports and harbours became a large and specialised branch of the profession. This development began in ports in physically difficult locations and may be particularly identified with the growth of the Port of Liverpool. Stimulated by the arrival of ever-larger steamships and the heavy investment in port facilities that they demanded, it spread around much of the world. The opening papers give examples of what could be achieved in antiquity; the following ones set out the advances in design and technology from 1700 to the start of this century - and note some of the failures and recurrent problems. They also illustrate the critical importance of political and economic factors in determining what the engineers achieved.

Over the past twenty years there has been considerable improvement and new information in the design of port and berth structures. This handbook reflects the lastest progress and developments in navigation safety, port planning and site selection, layout of container, oil and gas terminals, cargo handling, berth design and construction, fender and mooring principles. It presents guidelines and recommendations for the main items and assumptions in the layout, desing and construction of modern port structures, and the forces and loadings acting on them. The book provides an evaluation of different designs and construction methods for port and berth structures, and recommendations given by the different international harbour standards and recommendations. Practising harbour and port engineers and students will find the handbook an invaluable source of information.

This text-book concisely formulates the basic principles of the subject matter in simple language presented in two sections. The Section I - Harbour and Dock Engineering, is well-divided in twelve chapters including chapter on 'Planning and Layout of Ports'. Also the approach of the write-up has been changed according to the form of facilities and requirements of Harbours and Ports. The Section II - Tunnel Engineering, is also well-divided in twelve chapters including newly developed methods like New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM), Shield methods and chapters on 'Stages in Tunnel Construction', 'Tunnelling in Water Bearing Soils' and also 'Health Protection in Tunnels' have been incorporated.
