Download or read book Redondo Beach California 1992 1994 Wave Data written by Margaret A. Sabol and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field wave data were acquired at Redondo Beach Breakwater, CA, by the Prototype Measurement and Analysis Branch of the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station Coastal Engineering Research Center as part of the Monitoring Completed Coastal Projects Program. This report summarizes data collected throughout the experiment. The purpose of this study was to provide actual field data to evaluate output from a numerical model, Regional Coastal Processes Wave Transformation Model, (RCPWAVE Computer program), which predicts waves propagating through a coastal region of irregular bathymetry. This report contains brief descriptions of the monitoring effort and equipment and provides collected wave information in graphic and tabular form. Statistical analysis of wave data will be provided in a future report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three separate and distinct (although interrelated) problems exist at Redondo Beach King Harbor, California, at the present time: recurring, but infrequent, structural damage to the breakwater; excessive wave activity in the harbor caused by waves penetrating through and overtopping the permeable rubble-mound breakwater; and shoaling of the harbor navigation channel and boat mooring area. The US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station was requested to: (a) perform a water wave refraction/diffraction/shoaling analysis of the 1983 winter storms to determine the wave characteristics and frequencies-of-occurrence at the breakwater structure site for the extreme storm events of historical record and for the higher sea waves which overtop the lower portion of the breakwater on an average annual basis; (b) determine the magnitude of wave penetration through the permeable rubble-mound structure, overtopping of the structure, and total wave transmission into the harbor; (c) evaluate the effect of raising the crest elevation of the structure on wave transmission into the harbor; (d) estimate the structure armor stone required for stability based on the return period of storm waves of various heights; and (e) propose alternative structural measures for reducing excess waves in Basin 3 and reducing harbor shoaling by sediment penetration through the breakwater. Keywords: Armor stone, Chemical grouts, Overtopping, Permeability, Refraction, Rubble-mound breakwater, Storm damage, Transmission, Water waves.

Download or read book The Beaches Are Moving written by Wallace Kaufman and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1984-01-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our beaches are eroding, sinking, washing out right under our houses, hotels, bridges; vacation dreamlands become nightmare scenes of futile revetments, fills, groins, what have you—all thrown up in a frantic defense against the natural system. The romantic desire to live on the seashore is in doomed conflict with an age-old pattern of beach migration. Yet it need not be so. Conservationist Wallace Kaufman teams up with marine geologist Orrin H. Pilkey Jr., in an evaluation of America's beaches from coast to coast, giving sound advice on how to judge a safe beach development from a dangerous one and how to live at the shore sensibly and safely.

Download or read book Oceanographical Engineering written by Robert L. Wiegel and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As is the case with many modern fields of study, oceanographical engineering cuts across the boundaries of several disciplines. Like other scientific endeavors, it aims to understand the nature of the ocean and to make use of this understanding for the benefit of humanity through better ports, safer and more economical operations at sea, and greater use of the oceans' natural resources--food, raw materials, and recreation. This graduate-level text requires a knowledge of fluid mechanics; a background in the motions of sediments in fluids is advisable, as is a concurrent course in structural dynamics. Topics include the theory of periodic waves; tsunamis, storm surges, and harbor oscillations; the effect of structures on waves; waves in shoaling water; tides and sea level changes; currents; shores and shore processes; some characteristics of the oceans' waters; moorings; and other related subjects. Certain portions of the book pertaining to the distribution of temperatures and salinities in the ocean are largely descriptive; other portions, such as the sections on waves, are mathematical. Numerous drawings and photographs supplement the text.
