Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cause of coastal erosion along the Homer Spit on lower Cook Inlet, Alaska, was identified and potential long-term means of erosion control were recommended. The limited wind and wave data available for the region were subsequently collected and statistically analyzed. Deepwater wave forecasts were performed based on the wind statistics. A finite difference numerical model of the nearshore areas of the Homer spit and adjacent beaches at low tide was applied to predict refraction, diffraction and shoaling of the forecast deepwater waves. The model was also applied to predict breaker characteristics, expected longshore energy flux, and sediment transport rates at low tide. Beach sample size gradation data along and across the Spit shoreline were statistically analyzed, revealing trends which point toward the probable geological evolution of the Spit. Results from the sediment analysis also allowed the numerical model to predict net expected annual longshore sediment transport rates along 11 miles of shoreline.

Book excerpt: The US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station Coastal Engineering Research Center was requested by the US Army Engineer District, Alaska (CENPA) to provide technical assistance in engineering analysis and assessment of various structure alternatives for flood mitigation and erosion control at the southeast coastline of Homer Spit, Alaska. Study elements included are wave climatology and wave transformation analysis, coastal geomorphological study, tidal circulation analysis, shoreline change numerical modeling analysis, and structure elements design. This report details the study and provides final recommendations to CENPA. Spectrally-based deepwater wave heights, peak periods, and peak directions were calculated from Homer Spit wind distribution based on the usable wind data of February 1965 to February 1986. The deepwater wave statistics were then transformed by applying the Regional Coastal Processes Wave finite difference model to the breaking point near the Spit shoreline as the data base for nearshore sediment transport analysis. The shoreline response to various structure alternatives was analyzed by using the shoreline change model. Five options--including without project, revetment extension, revetment extension with beach fill, beach fill, and offshore breakwater--with various design alternatives were simulated by the modeling study. The final recommendations were formulated based on the model simulation results along with engineering judgements derived from the other study of the project.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Board's four military and three civilian members meet to do the following: Disseminate information of general interest to Corps coastal Districts and Divisions; Obtain reports on coastal engineering projects in the host (local) District or Division; receive requests for research needs; Provide an opportunity for State and private institutions and organizations to report on local coastal research needs, coastal studies, and new coastal engineering techniques; Provide a general forum for public inquiry; and Provide recommendations for coastal engineering research and development. Presentations during the 45th CERB meeting dealt with the regulatory program in Alaska coastal areas, North Slope hydraulic modeling activities, deep-draft navigation aspects of Prince William Sound, Homer Spit Beach Erosion Project, Anchorage Harbor Deep-Draft Navigation Feasibility Study, and the Alaska Coastal Data Collection Program. Appendix A to this proceedings contains the dredging operations research and development program needs and priorities. Appendix B summarizes the CERB task force meetings. Appendix C contains recommendation letters from nonmillitary CERB members.

Download or read book Managing Coastal Erosion written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More and more of the nation's vast coastlines are being filled with homes and vacation resorts. The result is an increasing number of structures built on erosion-prone shoresâ€"with many of these structures facing collapse or damage. In response to mounting property losses, Congress has given the Federal Emergency Management Agency responsibility for incorporating coastal erosion into its National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This book from the National Research Council addresses the immediate question of how to develop an erosion insurance programâ€"as well as the larger issues raised by the continually changing face of our nation's shorelines. Managing Coastal Erosion explores major questions surrounding a national policy on coastal erosion: Should the federal government be in the business of protecting developers and individuals who build in erosion-prone coastal areas? How should such a program be implemented? Can it prompt more responsible management of coastal areas? The volume provides federal policymakers, state floodplain and resource managers, civil engineers, environmental groups, marine specialists, development companies, and researchers with invaluable information about the natural processes of coastal erosion and the effect of human activity on those processes. The book also details the workings of the NFIP, lessons to be learned from numerous state coastal management programs, and much more.
