course aims in Estonian
Õppeaine eesmärk on:
- selgitada merekeskkonna mõju erinevatele materjalidele ning neist tehtud struktuuridele;
- tutvustada võimalusi struktuuri kaitsmiseks merekeskkonna kahjulike mõjude eest, kahjustamata samas merekeskkonda ennast;
-anda esmane ülevaade lainemehaanikast ning lainete mõjust struktuurile, mis on paigutatud vette.
course aims in English
The aim of this course is to:
- explain the effect of the marine environment on different materials and structures constructed from them;
- to introduce ways of protecting the structure from the degrading effects of the marine environment, without harming the marine environment itself;
-to provide an initial overview of wave mechanics and the effect of waves on structures placed in water.

learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Aine läbinud üliõpilane:
- kirjeldab füüsikalisi, keemilisi ja bioloogilisi protsesse, mis mõjuvad merekeskkonda paigutatud struktuurile;
- võrdleb mere- ja maismaakeskkonna erinevust mõju suhtes, mida nad avaldavad struktuuridele;
- teab viise, kuidas vältida struktuuri kahjustada saamist merekeskkonnas. Hindab nende viiside mõju looduskeskkonnale meres;
- rakendab teadmisi statistilistest jaotustest, kirjeldab nende abil laineolukorda veepinnal;
- kirjeldab liikuva laine mõju väikestele ja suurtele objektidele merepinnal ja pinna all;
- rakendab teadmisi trigonomeetriast, kirjeldab nende abil perioodilist struktuuri liikumist laine mõju tagajärjel.
learning outcomes in the course in Eng.
After completing this course the student:
- describes the physical, chemical and biological processes that affect a structure placed in the marine environment;
- compares the difference between marine and terrestrial environments in terms of the effect they have on structures;
- knows ways to avoid structural degradation in the marine environment. Assesses the impact of these methods on the natural environment in the sea;
- applies knowledge of statistical distributions, describes with them the wave environment on the sea surface;
- describes the effect of traveling waves on small and large objects at the sea surface and below it;
- applying knowledge of trigonometry, describes periodic structure movement as a result of wave action.
brief description of the course in Estonian
Merekeskkonna eripärad võrreldes maismaaga – side, regulatsioon, bioloogiline keskkond. Enamlevinud konstruktsiooniliste materjalide käitumine merekeskkonnas - lagunemine, osmoos, korrosioon, galvaanilised protsessid, kinnikasv. Meetmed struktuuri kahjustavate protsesside vältimiseks, nende meetmete mõju looduskeskkonnale.
Tsentraalne piirteoreem statistikas. Rayleigh jaotus, selle seos normaaljaotusega. Merelainete statistiline kirjeldamine – lainepikkus, laine amplituud, dispersiooniseadus. Energia- ja massitranspordi erinevus veepinnal. Jäigalt kinnitatud, ankurdatud, või ujuva struktuuri käitumine laines.
brief description of the course in English
Characteristics of the marine environment compared to land - communication, regulation, biological environment. Behavior of the most common structural materials in the marine environment - decomposition, osmosis, corrosion, galvanic processes, fouling. Measures to prevent processes damaging the structure, the impact of these measures on the natural environment.
The central limit theorem in statistics. Rayleigh distribution, its relation to normal distribution. Statistical description of sea waves - wavelength, wave amplitude, dispersion law. Difference between energy and mass transport at water surface. Behavior of a fixed, moored, or floating structure in wave conditions.
