The detailed syllabus for Ports & Harbours M.Tech 2017-2018 (R17) first year first sem is as follows.
M.Tech. I Year I Sem.
Course Objective: To impart knowledge on port infrastructure
Course Outcomes: At the end of the course the student will be able to:
- Explain the significance of ports and harbours as a mode of transport.
- Demonstrate the fundamental principles of wave hydrodynamics and port cargo handling.
- Demonstrate the basic design of port layout
- Design, plan and integrate port and harbour infrastructure.
- Explain the construction, maintenance and renovation aspects of ports and inland waterways
UNIT-I : Introduction and Fundamentals: Introduction: Ports and harbours – an infrastructure layer between two transport media, planning of ports and harbours. The fundamentals: Tide and current conditions inside harbour, water circulation; breakwaters, jetties and quay walls; mooring, berthing and ship motion inside the port; model studies, physical and mathematical studies.
UNIT-II : Design Issues and Design Of Port: Infrastructures: Design issues: Sea port layout with regards to (1) wave action (2) siltation (3) navigability, berthing facilities. Design of Port Infrastructures: Design of port infrastructures with
regards to (1) cargo handling (2) cargo storage (3) integrated transport of goods, planning multipurpose port terminals.
UNIT-III : Port Operations: Allowable wave conditions for cargo handling, wave conditions for human safety on quays and breakwaters, forcecasting / nowcasting of wave and current conditions for port operations, dredging and navigability, hazard scenarios; VTMS and management of computerized container terminal, safety & environment (handling of fire, oil spill, rescue, etc.
UNIT-IV : Inland Waterways and Ports: Maintenance of waterways, construction of environmentally engineered banks, dredging, and disposal processing and storing of polluted dredged materials, development of river info
UNIT-V : Construction Aspects and Sustainability: Planning and construction expansion and renovation of port and Inland Port Infrastructure. Global trade and port restructuring/reforms, impact of possible climate change scenarios, sustainable development strategies for cities and ports.
