What is hard engineering?
Hard engineering refers to the use of solid structures and physical barriers to manage natural processes and mitigate environmental hazards, such as flooding and coastal erosion. Examples include dams, levees, sea walls, and flood channels, which are designed to control water flow and protect infrastructure. While effective in the short term, hard engineering often involves significant environmental impact and can lead to issues such as habitat destruction and altered ecosystems. It contrasts with soft engineering approaches, which focus on natural solutions and ecosystem-based management.
What kind of engineering hardware does Cordell specialize in?
The company Cordell specializes in traffic engineering hardware and software for legacy and soft switch applications. They have been leaders in the field for 33 years.
What is the difference between hard and soft engineering management of coastal erosion?
Hard Management: Hard management is the more traditional response to erosion and involves the construction of structures which stop wave energy reaching the shore, or absorb and reflect the energy. These have often caused problems themselves, such as increasing erosion elsewhere, and soft construction techniques have become more popular because of this. Soft management: These techniques involve promoting natural systems such as beaches and salt marshes which protect the coast, and are usually cheaper to construct and maintain than hard management techniques, and may be self-sustaining.
When was Coastal Engineering Journal created?
Coastal Engineering Journal was created in 1959.
How many methods of coastal protection are there?
There are several methods of coastal protection, generally categorized into hard and soft engineering techniques. Hard engineering methods include structures like seawalls, groynes, and breakwaters, which are designed to absorb or deflect wave energy. Soft engineering methods, such as beach nourishment and dune restoration, aim to work with natural processes to enhance coastal resilience. The choice of method often depends on specific environmental, economic, and social factors in a given area.

What is soft engineering?
i think soft engineering is stuff to make the waves break quicker so it will minimism the eroding to make it slower.
