Book Synopsis Beach Nourishment and Protection by : Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences
Download or read book Beach Nourishment and Protection written by Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1996-01-12 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many coastal communities have built structures at their beaches and added quantities of sand in contoured designs to combat erosion. Are such beach nourishment projects technically and economically sound? Or are they nothing more than building sand castles, as critics claim? Beach Nourishment and Protection provides a sound technical basis for decision-making, with recommendations regarding the utility of beach nourishment, the appropriate role of federal agencies, responsibility for cost, design methodology, and other issues. This volume: Examines the economic and social role of beaches, the history of beach nourishment projects, and management strategies for shore protection. Discusses the role of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other federal agencies, with a close-up look at the federal flood insurance program. Explores the state of the art in project design and prediction of outcomes, including the controversy over the use of traditional and nontraditional shore protection devices. Addresses what is known about the environmental impacts of beach nourishment. Identifies what outcomes should be targeted for continued monitoring by project officials. Beach Nourishment and Protection provides insight into the technical, economic, environmental, and policy implications of beach nourishment and protection, with examples and suggested research directions.

Book Synopsis Beach Nourishment by : Robert G Dean
Download or read book Beach Nourishment written by Robert G Dean and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2003-01-23 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written for engineers, students of coastal processes and laypersons interested in beach nourishment, which consists of the placement of large quantities of good quality sediment on the beach to advance the shoreline seaward. The improvement of project performance through proper design and the predictability of performance are emphasized. The overall longevity of a project is addressed as are local erosional areas. The roles which wave height, project length and sediment quality play in project performance are addressed quantitatively. The results are illustrated through reference to a number of monitored nourishment projects. Biological and economic aspects of beach nourishment are addressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Erosion is experienced by most coastlines worldwide, and it is usually attributed not only to sea level rise but also to the retention of sand in dams, the occupation of dry beaches by urbanized areas, the mining of sand as a building material for construction, and so on. Beach nourishment has evolved as the favored erosion-mitigation strategy in many areas of the world. The increasing number of people living on the coast, the safety of those people, and the high values of coastal properties are all factors that have made beach nourishment a cost-effective strategy for managing erosion in many locations. However, a new scenario of sand scarcity and environmental care has arisen in recent decades. There have been many different and interesting cases of various aspects of beach nourishment in recent years. The purpose of this invited Special Issue is to publish the most exciting experience and research with respect to this topic. Thus, novel techniques for designing, executing, and controlling these kinds of works as well as different case studies and their monitoring results and conclusions have been included, in order to present an updated state of the art for marine scientists, researchers, and engineers.

Book Synopsis Dune Erosion During Storm Surges by : Jacob Simon Marie van Thiel de Vries
Download or read book Dune Erosion During Storm Surges written by Jacob Simon Marie van Thiel de Vries and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because large parts of The Netherlands lie below sea level and are largely protected from flooding by a narrow strip of sandy beaches and dunes, optimal management of this coastal strip is of vital importance. This work extends the existing knowledge of dune erosion during storm surges as it occurs along the Dutch coast. Among the areas discussed are: a large scale erosion experiment designed to improve insight into near dune hydrodynamics, sediment transport and interaction between dune face and swash zone; detailed modeling to study dune erosion physics, validated against measurements, and a morphodynamic dune erosion model applied in a variety of dune erosion conditions. This publication represents a valuable contribution to an improved understanding of dune erosion, an increasingly important area of study with regard to climate change and rising sea levels.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the fish populations within the surf zone and over the first and second reefs off Hallandale (Broward County), Florida, was conducted, 7 years following dredging for a beach restoration project. This study utilized an observational and recording technique adapted from Jones and Thompson (1978). The data were compared with those of an earlier study conducted in 1971-72. In the 1971-72 study, conducted during and subsequent to dredging activities, 42 species of fishes belonging to 24 families were found. The present study revealed the presence of 114 species of fishes belonging to 36 families. The dusky jawfish (Opistognathus whitehursti), common along the first reef platform in 1971-72, was found to be absent. The absence of this fish is attributed to an alteration of the substate on the first reef by incursion of fine sediments. Damage to the second reef observed during 1971-72 was not evident during this study. (Author).
