costal engineering manual this is important book to follow to design any off-shore and on-shore struchtures.. http://www.a-jacks.com/Coastal/GeneralInfo/CEM/CEM.aspx this is book provided by the us army corps this book is like a bible for hydraulic,costal & horbor engineers.... ON SHORE STRUCHTURES: struchtures from surf zone towards shore are called onshore struchtures. OFF SHORE STRUCHTURES: struchtures towards the sea from surf zone, excluding the surf zone those struchtures are called off shore struchtures.

Dr. S. Neelamani - An exemplary role model May 11, 2014, 9:36 am Hailing from a poor family of weavers from the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, Dr. S. Neelamani has risen to a position of respect and authority by his sheer hard work and dedication. In an interview with The Times Kuwait, Dr. Neelamani spoke about his early hardship in life and how he overcame them with his education. “We were a family of 10 children and the first time I even wore slippers was in class 11,” he reminisced as he spoke of his early days. His father was a handloom weaver and in a weaver's family the entire family had to contribute so young Neelamani too worked on the looms. But a difficult life did not deter Neelamani and his interest in maths and science were evident in his early years of schooling. “I realised I was doing well when I came first in my high school,” he modestly points out. From there on, there was no looking back as Neelamani got a merit admission for engineering
Some general information about oceans · Average depth of ocean bed is 3800 mts. · Average depth of Pacific Ocean alone is 4300 mts. · Average elevation of earth on land surface is 840 mts. · Earth's highest point is Mount Everest peak at an elevation of 8850 mts. · Earth's deepest point in the ocean is in Marina trench with depth of 10,994 mts. This is in western Pacific Ocean. · Average temperature of ocean is 4 degrees centigrade . · The average temperature of the ocean surface waters is about 17 degrees centigrade . · Ocean waters with an average salinity of 35 ppt (parts per thousand) – 1m 3 of sea water weights 1030 to 1070 kg (approximately 1000 kg) this rise to salt content is 35 kg since for 1000 parts salinity is 35 parts. · Temperature rise for decade in oceans is 0.3 to 0.4 degrees centigrade /decade. · If the whole ice in this world get melted then the se
