This book was released on 1975 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selection of borrow material for use in beach restoration and periodic nourishment requires analysis of the textural differences between the potential borrow and native beach materials. Three quantitative techniques proposed for such analysis are reviewed and compared, and guidelines are suggested for use in planning and designing projects requiring beach nourishment. The techniques are of two types. One is based on the assumption that sorting processes will selectively remove borrow material from the various size classes until a 'stable grain-size distribution' (gsd) is obtained and the placed fill stabilized. The gsd of the native material is used to predict the character of the stable gsd. Methods of this type lead to calculation of a 'fill factor, ' an estimate of volume of borrow material required to produce a unit volume of stable beach material. Examination of the conceptual basis for each method suggests that the SPM method may overestimate fill factors whereas Dean's method may underestimate them. A modification in the assumptions underlying the SPM method results in an approach which appears to represent a satisfactory compromise between these alternatives. Another type of technique was proposed by James (1974). It is based on the assumption that no material is absolutely stable, but that erosion rates depend in part on the gsd of the material exposed to existing coastal processes. Prediction of erosion rates associated with a given borrow material is based on observation of erosion rates and textural properties associated with native materials.

Download or read book Coastal Erosion written by Roger H. Charlier and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-04-10 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coastal zone is subject to strong pressures from a large number of users. Populations are migrating to it in large numbers. Industry wants to exploit it for its space, water and manpower. Aggregate miners want to exploit mineral resources and health centers are multiplying. It is a favorite area for tourism and recreation worldwide. The zone can boom economically. However, coastlines are progressively receding worldwide, making the zone fragile, vulnerable, and unstable. The book presents methods of coastal protection and beach restoration and offers solutions to the various problems.

Download or read book Coastal Engineering written by Dominic Reeve and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective coastal engineering is expensive, but it is not as costly as neglect or ineffective intervention. Good practice needs to be based on sound principles, but theoretical work and modelling also need to be well grounded in practice, which is continuously evolving. Conceptual and detailed design has been advanced by new industry publications since the publication of the second edition. This third edition provides a number of updates: the sections on wave overtopping have been updated to reflect changes brought in with the recently issued EurOtop II manual; a detailed worked example is given of the calculation of extreme wave conditions for design; additional examples have been included on the reliability of structures and probabilistic design; the method for tidal analysis and calculation of amplitudes and phases of harmonic constituents from water level time series has been introduced in a new appendix together with a worked example of harmonic analysis; and a real-life example is included of a design adapting to climate change. This book is especially useful as an information source for undergraduates and engineering MSc students specializing in coastal engineering and management. Readers require a good grounding in basic fluid mechanics or engineering hydraulics, and some familiarity with elementary statistical concepts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing population, expanding industry and commerce, and tourism are placing added pressures on an already highly-utilized coastal zone. This book, through a series of case studies, illustrates the variety of changes already made along the coastlines of the world. The examples used are mainly from China, Japan, The Netherlands, and the United States, all countries with extensively engineered shorelines. Modifications emphasized include those associated with protection against coastal erosion, building of artificial beaches and islands, reclamation for aquaculture and agriculture, and the construction of harbors. The information in this book should be useful for all planners and engineers involved in the construction of coastal engineering works and for students interested in coastal modification.

Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study is to determine the Federal interest in participating in the cost of placing suitable material from Thimble Shoal Channel and/or Atlantic Ocean Channel ... on the beach at Sandbridge in Virginia Beach rather than depositing it in an offshore disposal area. The evaluation report will consider only that material to be provided from the 55-foot-deep outbound channel which is part of the Norfolk Harbor and Channels, Virginia, project."--Page 1.
Download or read book Coastal Protection written by Pile Buck and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With today's problems surrounding shoreline protection, this book should be of great assistance. This manual contains a compilation of 2 Navy and 2 Corps manuals all relative to the subject of coastal protection and the affects tidal action has on our shorelines. The titles included are: Coastal Protection is a U.S. Navy publication which deals specifically with waves and their characteristics. In order to prepare safe designs, the normal and extreme waves which will act against the structure must be evaluated so that a design wave can be selected. Pilebuck takes the user through this phase into the application of data to actual design of breakwaters and seawalls. Storm Surge Analysis: High tides and wind-generated waves combine to provide a potential for abnormally high water levels and flooding during hurricanes or other serious storms. An understanding of this phenomena is essential in order to plan control structures or design others.
