No 'after construction' inspection has ever been conducted in the Corps to ascertain 'if' or 'how well' we...
Monitoring Completed Coastal Projects Results to Date
In 1981, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers initiated a program of monitoring coastal projects. Called the Monitoring Completed Coastal Projects (MCCP) Program, its purpose is to aid in...
Monitoring of Water Quality During I-664 Dredging
Construction of Interstate Highway I-664 across Hampton Roads involves extensive underwater work and consequent risk of lowered water quality. This paper described field monitoring procedures...
Identification of Consciousness and Behavior of Japanese and the Living Environment in a Coastal Zone
Japan's policy of coastal zone management has changed from placing emphasis on seaside disaster prevention, industry location, and harbor construction to creating the amenities...
Beach Preservation by Means of Offshore Submerged Mound of Dredged Materials
The beach - sediment - dispersion- offshore or alongshore under the effect of waves and wave induced currents, and inland by wind action may cause a net deficit in sediment budget which...
Evaluation of Sand-Filled Containers for Beach Erosion Control: an Update of the Technology
The use of large, sand-filled geotextile containers for coastal erosion protection has increased along Florida's ocean shorelines over the past five years. Technological advances...
