Book Synopsis Coastal Groins and Nearshore Breakwaters by : American Society of Civil Engineers
Download or read book Coastal Groins and Nearshore Breakwaters written by American Society of Civil Engineers and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technical Engineering and Design Guides, as adapted from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers No. 6. This book provides guidance for the design and placement of beach stabilization structures, specifically groins, nearshore breakwaters, and submerged sills. Groin dimensions--such as height, length, spacing, and permeability--and their effects on a groin's functional performance are examined, along with the use of physical and mathematical models to evaluate designs. Topics include: various design factors; the effect of breakwaters on nearshore circulation; wave conditions in the breakwater's lee; longshore transport; onshore-offshore transport; and construction and post-construction activities. Because the design of beach stabilization structures requires analysis of the wave, current, and longshore transport environments as well as the coastal processes at a project site, this manual can only provide general guidance and design concepts in the area of beach stabilization. The manual also includes a compilation of the advantages and disadvantages of the various types of beach stabilization systems.

Book Synopsis Mitigating Shore Erosion Along Sheltered Coasts by : National Research Council
Download or read book Mitigating Shore Erosion Along Sheltered Coasts written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-05-04 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like ocean beaches, sheltered coastal areas experience land loss from erosion and sea level rise. In response, property owners often install hard structures such as bulkheads as a way to prevent further erosion, but these structures cause changes in the coastal environment that alter landscapes, reduce public access and recreational opportunities, diminish natural habitats, and harm species that depend on these habitats for shelter and food. Mitigating Shore Erosion Along Sheltered Coasts recommends coastal planning efforts and permitting policies to encourage landowners to use erosion control alternatives that help retain the natural features of coastal shorelines.

Book Synopsis Coastal Risk Management in a Changing Climate by : Barbara Zanuttigh
Download or read book Coastal Risk Management in a Changing Climate written by Barbara Zanuttigh and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 671 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing coastal management and defense approaches are not well suited to meet the challenges of climate change and related uncertanities. Professionals in this field need a more dynamic, systematic and multidisciplinary approach. Written by an international group of experts, Coastal Risk Management in a Changing Climate provides innovative, multidisciplinary best practices for mitigating the effects of climate change on coastal structures. Based on the Theseus program, the book includes eight study sites across Europe, with specific attention to the most vulnerable coastal environments such as deltas, estuaries and wetlands, where many large cities and industrial areas are located. - Integrated risk assessment tools for considering the effects of climate change and related uncertainties - Presents latest insights on coastal engineering defenses - Provides integrated guidelines for setting up optimal mitigation measures - Provides directly applicable tools for the design of mitigation measures - Highlights socio-economic perspectives in coastal mitigation
Book Synopsis Environmental Design Guidelines for Low Crested Coastal Structures by : Stephen J. Hawkins
Download or read book Environmental Design Guidelines for Low Crested Coastal Structures written by Stephen J. Hawkins and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2010-07-07 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of manmade activities is primarily local but can extend far away from the location of intervention. This underlines the importance of establishing coastal zone management plans covering large stretches of coastlines. In recent years, interest in Low Crested Structures (coastal defense structures with a low-crest) has been growing together with awareness of the sensitivity to environmental impacts produced by coastal defenses. The relation between wave climate, beach erosion, beach defence means, habitat changes and beach value, which clearly exists based on EC research results, suggests the necessity of an integrated approach when designing coastal protection schemes. In accordance with this need, the present design guidelines cover structure stability and construction problems, hydro and morphodynamic effects, environmental effects (colonisation of the structure and water quality), societal and economic impacts (recreational benefits, swimming safety, beach quality). Environmental Design Guidelines for Low Crested Coastal Structures is specifically dedicated to Low Crested Structures, and provides methodological tools both for the engineering design of structures and for the prediction of performance and environmental impacts of such structures. A briefing of current best practice for local and national planning authorities, statutory agencies and other stakeholders in the coastal zone is also covered. Presented in a generic way, this book is appropriate throughout the European Union, taking into account current European Commission policy and directives for the promotion of sustainable development and integrated coastal zone management. - Fills the gap between engineering and ecology in coastal defense planning - Shows the reader how to perform an integrated design of coastal defense schemes - Presents latest insights on hydro-morphodynamics induced by structures - Provides directly applicable tools for the design of low crested structures - Highlights socio-economic perspectives in coastal defense design

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The construction of coastal defences has allowed many people to live and work in safety in areas of the United Kingdom that would otherwise have been lost to the sea. - However, building and maintaining such defences is a difficult and expensive undertaking, with inevitable consequences for the environment. - In rural areas, some existing defences have been abandoned and, given the predicted effects of global warming, this policy may be extended in the future. - "This guide explains how shorelines can be managed in a cost-effective and environmentally acceptable manner, and includes guidance on the design, construction and maintenance of coastal defences."--Jacket.
