Coastal Erosion and Solutions: A primer

This primer describes some of the causes of coastal erosion and tries to put into perspective their scale and consequences. There are no uniform causes, just as there are no uniform solutions. Erosion tends to be site-specific. Yet, with careful observation and measurement, a particular problem can be placed in context and draw from the...

Hydraulic and coastal structures in international perspective

The objective of this paper is to bring some international perspectives on the policy, design, construction, and monitoring aspects of Hydraulic and Coastal Structures in general, and whenever possible, to present some comparison (or reasons for differences) between the experiences of various countries and/or geographical regions. This chapter...

Development of a Teaching Exercise for the Design of a Revetment

Objectives of this work are to: a. Identify a problem related with coastal defence. b. Understand how to determine the boundary conditions and apply this knowledge. c. Understand the choice ofthe solution. d. Understand how to design a simple revetment with rip-rap as one of the coastal defences. e. To develop educational material to be used at...

Effectiveness of coastal defence measures: Design background for coastal defence and management: near field and far-field factors in overall (geometrical) and structural design

The description of the transformation of shore in larger scales, i.e. the far-field effects, is summarized in Chapter 2 while the near-field mechanisms, encompassing different overall and local failure modes, stability and performance are dealt with in Chapter 3. Both are foliowed by Chapters 4 and 5 with design computations and examples,...

Dredge, drain, reclaim: The art of a nation

Historical overview of hydraulic engineering in the Netherlands until 1960. The author wrote the main part of this book during the second world war. The author (1893-1959) advocated at that time strong improvement of the Dutch sea defences, but this was politically not accepted. For that he used the pseudonym "Dr. Cassandra". After 1953 he...

Coastal Engineering (Proceedings of the 1st ICCE, International Conference on Coastal Engineering)

The Conference on Coastal Engineering at Long Beach was conceived originally as a local meeting of engineers and scientists interested in shoreline problems and was sponsored by the University of California. It early became evident that there was widespread interest in the subject and that the program should be planned on a more ambitious scale....
