An Artificial Perched-Gravel Beach as a Shore Protection Structure
Gravel beaches provide the backshore of coastal environments with a protective buffer from wave erosion. A case study is presented of the conceptual design and utility of an artificial...

Beach Stabilization Using Drains?An Experimental Model Study
The use of the drain concept may be an attractive new tool for beach stabilization because it provides an alternative to hard structures and may enhance beach nourishment practices. Two-dimensional...

Monitoring of a Nearshore Disposal Mound at Silver Strand State Park
The migration of an underwater disposal berm constructed in December 1988 approximately six miles south of the entrance to San Diego Bay is investigated. The berm was composed of medium...

Influence of Water-Level Variation on the Performance of Great Lakes Beach Nourishments
In an effort to evaluate the influence of Great Lakes water level change on beach nourishment profile adjustment, an extensive ten year monitoring study was conducted in southern Lake...

Development of Optimum Beach Fill Design Cross-Section
Accurate beach profile surveys, wave information, and sediment data taken at Ocean City, Maryland provided an opportunity to evaluate four beach fill design alternatives using the beach...

Articifical Nourishment at Varadero Beach, Cuba
Following severe storm damage at Varadero Beach during the winter of 1986-87, beach nourishment was carried out at Punta Blanca (17,000 m³), Hotel...

Littoral Environmental Considerations of a Barrier Island in Beach Fill Design: Key Biscayne, Florida
An analysis and understanding of morphodynamic and littoral processes along a coastal shoreline is important in design of a beach fill project. Morphodynamic analysis should include a...

Performance of a Beach Nourishment Project Based on Detailed Multi-Year Monitoring: Redington Beach, FL
A recent monitoring project of a beach nourishment project includes closely spaced profiles and sediment analysis which provides data on nourishment performance which can be used in management...

Beach Nourishment Episodes at the Sandy Hook Unit, Gateway National Recreation Area, New Jersey, USA: A Preliminary Comparison
A chronic erosion problem at Sandy Hook resulted in two major beach nourishment operations during the 1980's, employing material dredged from nearby navigation channels. Grain...

The Use of Aragonite as an Alternate Source of Beach Fill in Southeast Florida
The first full-scale use in the United States of imported aragonite sand for beach restoration was initiated at Fisher Island, Florida, in December, 1990. The project involved placement...

Cross-Shore Sediment Transport Determined by EOF Method
Laboratory and field data of beach profile changes are used to study the cross-shore transport rate. The Empirical Orthogonal Eigenfunction analysis is applied to separate the temporal...

Integrated Photogrammetric and Geophysical Monitoring of Shoreline Instability in Littoral Cells in the Pacific Northwest, USA
Several factors have recently focused on the attention of government agencies, academic researchers, and the general public on coastal erosion and beach resource management in the Pacific...

Sediment Budget at Oceanside, California, Calculated Using a Calibrated Shoreline Change Model
A quantitative sediment budget analysis was made for the shoreline segment extending from 4 miles north to 4 miles south of Oceanside Harbor using a calibrated shoreline change model....

Coastal Process Study on Beacon Shoreline
A sediment budget was developed for the Santa Barbara and Ventura County shoreline in Southern California as part of an overall coastal planning effort. The budget was analyzed primarily...

Topographic Responses to the Construction of Large Port Structures on Oarai Coast
Large offshore breakwater and groins have been constructed at Oarai Port, Japan. As a result, the coast experienced significant topographic changes. In this paper, the responses of the...

Dredging & Nourishment Bulk Determination by Sediment Budget
'Ria' is the Spanish name for a sea flooded valley, whatever its origin and evolution. This paper discusses a project involving the regeneration and protection...

Recent Evolution and Potential Causal Mechanisms of Cedar Island, Virginia, 1852-1986
Shoreline mapping was used to reconstruct the historical shoreline evolution of Cedar Island, Virginia in an effort to clarify the debate on barrier island response to sea level rise --...

Implementation of Vertical Landfill Expansion
Montgomery County, Maryland, proposed to implement a vertical expansion or 'piggyback' design for the County's municipal solid waste landfill. The...

Remedial Planning for the Former EXPO 86 Site
This paper describes the site characterization and remedial action planning effort that is being undertaken at the former EXPO 86 site in downtown Vancouver, B.C. The 200 acre site on...

Reliability-Based Estimates of Wetland Detention Times for Wastewater Treatment
Determination of the hydraulic residence or detention time is often the first step in design of wetlands constructed for wastewater treatment. Current methods for estimating wetland detention...
