LOCAL 11 - Hidráulica (3009) CESAR VIDAL PASCUAL 3.1 LEARNING OUTCOMES - Know the different types of marine works and understand the reasons for their inclusion in the different classifications Know the procedures for the design, construction, and operation of maritime works set in ROM-00 Know the basics of wave generation and propagation. Being able to predict the weather in the short term Defining a work plan which includes weather contingencies. Knowing the basics of functional design of a port. Be able to formulate and manage with ease existing formulations for calculating the functional variables of breakwaters (no overtopping and overtopping) and vertical structures Acquire knowledge about specific machinery and construction processes of maritime work. Know the orders of magnitude of productivity and costs of major maritime units work 1

2 4. OBJECTIVES The student will be able to identify the characteristics of the different types of marine works, to understand the functional needs of those most common marine works, used both in port engineering and coastal engineering. Students will familiarize themselves with the machinery and construction processes of the marine works. Students will be able to understand, predict and act accordingly against the risks for the construction, operation or maintenance of maritime works represent environmental variables such as wind, waves, currents and tides. 2

3 6. COURSE ORGANIZATION CONTENTS 1 General types of maritime works (2h) 1.1. Introduction. Video of the construction of the port at Punta Langosteira 1.2. Classification of marine works Types of maritime works. 2 Spanish rules of design, construction, maintenance and decommissioning, introduction to ROM (4h) 21.

Cyclogenesis. Geostrophic wind. Vertical wind profile. Capillary and gravity waves Concept of fetch. Theoretical models of wave generation. Parametric and numerical models. 6 Risks induced by the waves in the sea works. Reliability in the construction and operation phases (4h) 6.1. Description of the concept of risk. Probabilistic design of marine works Introduction to ROM program. The ROM Determining the risk of failure of marine works. Systems analysis. Dimensions of the probability of failure of a system Estimating the probability of a failure mode of an element; Level III method Estimating the probability of a failure mode of an element; Method level II and level Methods I Probability of failure when the function of reliability depends on a dominant single variable Reliability under construction 7 Met-oceanographic variables prediction Operational models (4h) 7.1.

5 7. ASSESSMENT METHODS AND CRITERIA Description Type Final Eval. Reassessment Partial exam Written exam No Yes 50,00 Final exam Written exam Yes Yes 50,00 TOTAL Observations The partial exam is discharging for the final exam, if approved, the final exam will only include parts Both test are recoverable, they may be individually recovered in the official period set by the University (September). If any part of the course are not approved the student will have to re-examined all the parts the following year, regardless of whether they have approved the partial test. The partial exam will be averaged with the final test. A suspended in the partial partial note will not be taken into account. Practices are compulsory and will be required to make the exams. They will be corrected but will not be qualified nor taken into account for the final note. 'In connection with the resolutions adopted at the regular meeting of the School Board held on June 10, 2010, states that, with respect to evaluation activities having the character of recoverable, As a general criterion approved test will have a note of 5 or more / 10. Note: According to the Royal Decree RD 1125/2003 on the European credit system and the grading system in the university degrees of official and valid throughout the national territory, the results obtained by the student in each of the subjects of the curriculum will be graded according to the following numerical scale of 0-10, with one decimal, which may be added corresponding qualitative rating: 0.0 to 4.9: Suspense (SS). 5.0 to 6.9: Approved (AP). 7.0 to 8.9: Notable (NT). 9.0 to 10: Outstanding (SB) '.
