ASCE Manual of Practice No. 107 PDF

This manual provides an overview of the design process and operation of deep-draft navigation projects. Ship channels are the connecting link between the ocean shipping lanes and coastal or inland deep water ports. The reliability of ship channels is important to commercial navigation as well as to our national defense for rapid development of Navy, Army, and Coastal Guard vessels. This manual is intended as a design guide for practicing engineers and a reference for government agencies involved with the design and operation of deep draft navigation systems. This current volume is revived and expanded from Manual of Practice 80: Report on Ship Channel Design.
