PREFACE

Tc all the young engineers participating in the Short Course of ICCE'92 in Venice.

"Fatti non foste a viver come bruti, ma per seguir virtute e conoscenza"*

( Dante, Inferno, XX, 119-120 )

In the history of human civ,ilization,the mythology of Prometheus illustrates the constant striving of man to acquire knowiedge. The same burning desire torced Ulysses, celebrated by Homer, Dante, Tennyson and Joyce, to violate the limits sacred to Sun Hyperion.

This search tor deeper knowledge is a particular characteristic of homo sapiens and is the main propeller of civilization, while the researcher is the epitome of this fundamental characteristic inasmuch as he often explores science and art-rorîïis own-sake. _

In his quest tor new lands Ulysses explored unknown seas and became vehicle of knowledge to the people he encountered.

We coastal engineers are cast in the same mould and nee

by chance ICCE'92 takes place in Venice on the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus, the Ulysses of the 15th century.

In order to expand the knowledge of the young researchers in a field as interesting as coastal engineering, the organizing Committee of ICCE'92 decided to reserve more space for the Short Course, which for the first time indeed will be extended to three days and where international experts recognized in their field will give the lectures.

The setting for the course is the great hall of the Scuola di S. Giovanni EVangelista, a jewel of Venetian art of.the seventeenth century, which illustrates the goals reached by man in his journey towards civilization. To all participants I wish goed work. I hope that, like modern Ulysses, you will go back to your countries and teIl about the new knowledge of the sea and of the coasts you have heard about here.

* "You were not made to live like brutes, but to pursue virtue and knowiedge"

ym

To all lecturers I wish to express, on behalf of the Organizing Committee, my deepest thanks for bringing from all over the world their knowledge in our course. I am sure our young participants would join me in this appreciation of their efforts.

To all of you a warm welcome to·beautiful Venice, a unique place and the ultimate expression of the orderly activity of men conscious of their unreplaceable environment.

Once again BENVENUTI A VENEZIA

Prof. ing. Ugo Tomasicchio Chairman of·the L.O.C.

PROGRAM OF THE COURSE

lCCB '12 Short cour ••

The aim of the proposed short course is to give the fundamentals of risk evaluation of coastal structures and to illustrate some practical applications.

The course is intended for professional engineers and postgraduate students participating in the Conference. A good basic knowledge of coastal engineering is supposed. The course will be held in the ancient Scuola di S. Giovanni Evangelista.
