Coastal Project Planning and Design

James Newton, PE

With the advent of numerical models, reliable field instrumentation techniques and improved understanding of the physical relationships which influence coastal processes that lead to more sophisticated approaches in shore protection design, the US Army Corps of Engineers issued the Coastal Engineering Manual (CEM) in 2002 (EM-1110-2-1100). The over 2650 page manual was divided into six parts, each part covering multiple chapters.

The parts are defined as

  • Part I – Introduction
  • Part II – Coastal Hydrodynamics
  • Part III – Coastal Sediment Processes
  • Part IV – Coastal Geology
  • Part V – Coastal Project Planning and Design
  • Part IV – Design of Coastal Project Elements


  • PDH Online has developed a series of courses which cover all Parts II through VI of the manual and offer 110 professional development hours to complete the entire manual. This course will look at Part V – Coastal Project Planning and Design. This course will cover basic design criteria, risk analysis and project optimization, site characterization, shore protection projects, beach fill design, navigation projects, sediment management at inlets, and coastal engineering for environmental enhancement.

    This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials.
