Book Synopsis Design Of Coastal Hazard Mitigation Alternatives For Rising Seas by : David Basco
Download or read book Design Of Coastal Hazard Mitigation Alternatives For Rising Seas written by David Basco and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2020-07-02 with total page 1032 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely book is about how to design alternatives to reduce coastal flood and wave damage, erosion, and loss of ecosystems facing an unknown future of sea level rise. The latest theories are interlaced with applied examples from the authors' 48 years of experience in teaching, research, and as a practicing, professional engineer in coastal engineering. The design process takes into consideration all the design constraints (scientific, engineering, economic, environmental, social/political/institutional, aesthetic, and media) to meet today's client needs, expectations, and budgets for an uncertain future.The book is organized as a textbook for graduate students. And, it is a self-contained reference for government and consulting engineers responsible for finding solutions to coastal hazards facing the world's coastal populations. New solutions are included in the book that help people of all socio-economic levels living at the coast. Both risk reduction metrics quantified in monetary terms, and increased resilience metrics quantified as vulnerability reduction must now be taken into consideration to make equitable design decisions on hazard mitigation alternatives.In the Anthropocene Era, under 'deep uncertainty' in global mean sea level predictions for the future, today's designs must mitigate today's storm damages, and be adaptable for the unpredictable water levels and storms of the future. This book includes a design 'philosophy' for water levels to year 2050 and for the long term from 2050 to 2100. Multiple spreadsheets are provided and organized to aid the design process.This is an exciting time to be 'thinkers' as Civil/Coastal engineers.Related Link(s)
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 Engineering Design Guidance for Detached Breakwaters as Shoreline Stabilization Structure by :
Download or read book Engineering Design Guidance for Detached Breakwaters as Shoreline Stabilization Structure written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detached breakwaters can be a viable method of shoreline stabilization and protection in the United States. Breakwaters can be designed to retard erosion of an existing beach, promote natural sedimentation to form a new beach, increase the longevity of a beach fill, and maintain a wide beach for storm damage reduction and recreation. The combination of low-crested breakwaters and planted marsh grasses is increasingly being used to establish wetlands and control erosion along estuarine shorelines. This report summarizes and presents the most recent functional and structural design guidance available for detached breakwaters and provides examples of both prototype projects and the use of available tools to assist in breakwater design. Functional design guidance presented includes a review of existing analytical techniques and design procedures, functional design considerations, and data requirements. The chapter on structural design guidance includes static and dynamic breakwater stability and methods to determine performance characteristics such as transmission, reflection, and energy dissipation. Also included is a discussion of numerical and physical modeling as tools for prediction of morphological response to detached breakwaters, and a case example of a breakwater project designed and constructed at Bay Ridge, Maryland.

Book Synopsis Shoreline Response to Detached Breakwaters by : Guillermo Pérez Boloix
Download or read book Shoreline Response to Detached Breakwaters written by Guillermo Pérez Boloix and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anglès: This study consists on the analysis of detached breakwaters and their influence on the shoreline response. Their importance to protect coastal strips against erosion and the difficulty to determine their complete behaviour and their relevant parameters, are the main aspects treated along the whole paper. First of all, a general overview of coastal dynamics is depicted. Second, a description of the actual coastal protection state is made, highlighting the reasons why coastal engineers have been focused on the problems and solutions related to coastline response for the last years. A comparison between the different measures that can be applied is realised in order to define their strong and weak points and to introduce offshore breakwaters as a valid and broadly applied option. The third item deals with detached breakwaters characteristics and influence on morphodynamic processes, and is the previous step to the exposure of the main topic of the thesis: the design guidelines. A subdivision between submerged and emerged breakwaters is made in order to achieve a better understanding of the process behind and around the structures, and highlight the relative difference of behaviour. General design guidelines, basically in form of geometric indicators, are defined and classified depending on their shoreline response description, for instance discerning between salient, tombolo and limited response. In order to determine the current validity of these indicators, and other parameters that seem to be relevant and were not taken into consideration, an overview of real reported cases is exposed. Comparisons between the results observed in the real cases with the guidelines and the numerical calculations realized on a first stage are described, stressing the complexity of the design of detached breakwaters.

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 Brazilian Beach Systems by : Andrew D. Short
Download or read book Brazilian Beach Systems written by Andrew D. Short and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-19 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the more than 4,000 beach systems that form most of the 9000 km long Brazilian coast. It focuses on the beaches of each of the seventeen coastal states and three oceanic islands, their nature, morphodynamics and status. It is a must for anyone who wants to know more about this great coast and its beach systems. This is the first book ever written about the beach systems of Brazil, and actually the very first about the beaches of an entire country. The Brazilian coast extends from the mighty Amazon River and its muddy shores in the north to one of the world’s longest sandy beaches in the southern Rio Grande do Sul. It contains every beach type from wave to tide-dominated which range in size from small embayed beaches to long barrier beaches. The book is written by leading Brazilian academics and researchers and aims at the university level market, as well as coastal scientists, engineers and managers. Standard scientific terminology is used to describe the coast and its beaches. It is illustrated with more than 400 original figures and serves as a benchmark text on the Brazilian coast.
