Journal of Coastal and Hydraulic Structures

the journal of coastal and hydraulic structures (jchs) is an open-source community-based journal. all papers are rigorously peer-reviewed research in a double-blind fashion. its mission is to publish high level engineering science results focused on the field of coastal and hydraulic structures. there are no charges for authors nor readers. the scope ranges from the fluid mechanics, fluid-structure interaction and hydraulics of loads, to risk analysis of hazards and consequences, inspections and maintenance, damage and failure countermeasures, laboratory and numerical methods, nature based solutions, and related topics pertaining to structures at ports, coasts, waterways and lakes. interdisciplinary topics treating hydraulics combined with structural design and analysis, geotechnical issues, and local sediment transport (scour) are also welcomed. case studies and post-disaster field surveys whose findings add value to the understanding and optimization of hydraulic and coastal stru
