TC Activity Report
ACECC TC –1
Technical Committee on Asian and Pacific Coastal Network
3 December 2004
Background
Asian Civil Engineering Coordinating Council (ACECC) was established in 1999 for development of technologies and researches in Asian region. The establishment of Technical Committee (TC) was proposed in the ACECC 2nd Executive Committee Meeting for the purpose of making framework to discuss on various common engineering problems in each specified research area. Later on, in the ACECC 4th Executive Committee Meeting, “TC on Asian and Pacific Coastal Network (current TC-1)” and “TC on Integrated river basin management (current TC-2)” were approved.
The key terms of reference for the TCs are, as is stated in the ACECC Constitution Article 8.1, to establish the network and then identify technical subjects in a particular area. The idea behind this statement is each society has its own research committee and if technical committees are organized then integrated issues can be presented in the nearest Civil Engineering Conference in Asian Region (CECAR). It was, however, suggested that the TCs should find ways to link with similar on-going study teams outside ACECC so that the TC activities should not be duplicated or in conflict with the existing studies.
The first aim of TC-1, “TC on Asian and Pacific Coastal Network”, is to prepare the human resource network and foundation for discussing various coastal problems widely addressing disaster, development and environmental issues. These problems have been already serious and are the objects of public interest in some Asian regions. In other coastal areas, there should be latent problems that are to appear in the very near future. It is also important to share the knowledge and information obtained by each country for appropriate developments and environmental conservation.
Japan, Korea and Taiwan are currently nominated for TC-1 member societies. Although other ACECC member societies are expected to join this committee, TC-1 is started with these three societies to prepare the foundation for discussion and investigate some pilot studies for Asian coastal developments/problems. The result of this activity is to be extended for the benefit of non-ACECC countries in Asian and Pacific region.
Terms of Reference:
The terms of references of TC-1 are:
(1) to establish Asian and Pacific Network of Coastal Engineers by linking key persons in the region
to form a network of coastal engineers in the Asian and Pacific regions, including China, Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Bangladesh, Iran, Egypt as well as current CICHE, KSCE, and JSCE TC members.
(2) to gather and exchange knowledge and research activities in the field of Coastal Engineering for identifying key collaborative research subjects
i) to propose important research subjects common to the region, such as influence of reclamation on coastal environment. Comparative studies are also planned.
ii) to establish the network of wave observation among CICHE,KSCE,JSCE and to extend the network to other members

Actvities
(1) Information and reference exchange for related matters
Examples and study cases for the topics described in “Terms of reference” are presented in each discussion group of the topic. This process continued from April 2002 to the end of 2002 year in parallel with the “Information and reference exchange”.
Each discussion group picked up one or two appropriate examples for further discussion. Advantages of and contributions from the international cooperation were discussed.
(2) Asia and Pacific Coastal Engineers Network (APCN)
he Coastal Engineering Committee, Japan Society of Civil Engineers started a new program to enhance the communication among peers of coastal engineering in Asia and Pacific region in August, 2002. The Asia and Pacific Coastal Engineers Network (APCN) links individual coastal engineers to exchange ideas and information to promote the frame of coastal engineering.
(3) TC-1 Workshop on “Hydro-Environmental Impacts of Large Coastal Developments”
Seas neighboring to China, Japan and Korea are highly characterized by significant intensity of tides. Yet large coastal developments have been performed and also under way in strong tidal environments. If these countries are even to achieve sustainable management of the marine resources of their coastal seas, it is a fundamental requirement to be able to both understand and predict the hydro-environmental behavior of the system, starting from tide and tide-related environmental process.
The first Workshop on Hydro-environmental Impacts from Large Coastal Developments was held in Seoul, Korea, on May 21 to 23, 2003, under the joint organization of the Korean Society of Coastal and Ocean Engineers (KSCOE), the Korean Society of Civil Engineers (KSCE), and the Coastal Engineering Committee, Japan Society of Civil Engineers (CEC of JSCE). The main objective of this workshop is to bring together all groups and professionals from these countries to exchange knowledge and information based on past experiences and up-to-date scientific findings for making furtherance in our scientific discipline. It is hoped that the workshop will also contribute to improve of spatial and temporal variation mechanism of regional environment in each of the Asian marginal seas towards its prediction with higher certainty, and discuss a long-range science prospectus for future efforts and collaboration. Key workshop issues include:
a. Tidal dike closure operation: Hydrodynamics and practical experiences
b. Impact of tidal barriers on coastal environments
c. Hydro-environmental impacts from large coastal developments

Announcement
Since workshop on Hydro-environmental Impacts of Large Coastal Developments was convened on 21-22 May 2003 in Seoul as first TC1 (Coast network) of ACECC (The Asian Civil Engineering Coordinating Council), the present workshop, Wave, Tide Observations and Modelings in the Asian-Pacific Region is now formulated and announced. Its purposes are to exchange knowledge on field observations of wave and tide and to discuss recent results on APAC (Asian and Pacific Coast) region.
For responding to increase demand for better understandings of wave climate and tidal distribution, its scope will cover the extended use of modeling prediction.
Objectives:
One of the most important aspects in understanding coastal and estuarine processes is knowing the wave climate and tidal process; likewise, a complete understanding of the expected waves and tides at a site is necessary to adequately design and construct a coastal structure. Recognizing the importance of and using wave and tide data in the design process is a major part of a project, but it is not complete in itself. The engineer or oceanographer must decide the data availability and where he can obtain these. If the data are not available then he is faced with the task of actually recording wave and tide data and then analyzing the record for the statistical, periodical, spectral, or directional information that is needed.
One of the major objectives of this Workshop is to provide the information that is necessary for the designer and oceanographer to successfully obtain and use wave and tide records, statistics, and spectra and also extensive use of data for model simulation to obtain wave climate and tidal distributions.
Another major objective of the Workshop is to provide a forum for researchers to communicate their recent findings and to discuss new ideas concerning ocean wave and tide measurement and analysis. It is hoped that from the quantity and quality of the papers in the Workshop, goal has been successfully met.
● Wave and tide observation
● Real time data dissemination, wave forecasting, tide and storm surge simulation
● Wave and tide analysis and prediction
● Wave-tide-surge coupled simulation
Date and Venue:
The workshop will be held on 17-18 August, 2004 at Conference Room, FKI Bldg., Seoul, Korea.
Official Language:
