• To prevent destructive wave action, break water are
provided.
• The entrance of a harbor should be wide enough to provide
the easy passage of ships.

18. •DEFECTS IN HARBOR:
• Depth of water is found insufficient for different ships.
• The size of harbor is found insufficient to accommodate the
increased traffic.
• Obstruction
• These defects can easily be avoided at the time of planning and
designing.
19. •SIZE OF A HARBOUR
Size depends upon:
# of ships
length:275m-300m
width:30m
20. •HARBOUR PLANNING
It should be carried out after collecting necessary
information of the existing features at the proposed
site.
Following important facts should be studied.
21. A thorough survey of the neighborhood including the
foreshore & depths of water is necessary
Nature of a harbor wether sheltered or not, be studied
The existance of sea insects & various animals residing
at site.
22. Natural phenomena’s concerning planning of a
harbour are:
Storms
Rainfall
Range of tides
Maximum & minimum temperatures
Direction & intensity of wind etc
23. •SITE SELECTION:
• Following factors play a great role in the
choice of site of a harbour.
• 1.Availability of cheap land & contruction material.
• 2.Natural protection from waves & winds
• 3.transport & communication facilities
• 4.industrial development of the locality
24. • 5.Sea bed,sub soil & foundation conditions
• 6.Avaibility of electrical energy
• 7.Defence & strategic aspects
• 8.trafic potentiality of harbour
26. •HARBOR OF REFUGE:
The harbor used for ships in storms or emergency
condition.
good anchorage and safe and easy access from the sea.

• Used for loading and unloading of cargo
• Made usually from shore towards sea water to prevent silting and dredging to
