Coastal erosion study Hoi An

A feasibility study on coastal problems in Hoi An, Vietnam. Finding a solution for the erosion problem of the city of hoi An is affected by in the recent decades.

Marine Shoreline Design Guidelines

The Marine Shoreline Design Guidelines is one of a series of guidance documents being developed by the Aquatic Habitat Guidelines (AHG) Program.Guidelines developed in the AHG program employ an integrated approach to marine, freshwater, and riparian habitat protection and restoration. That is, they seek to protect and restore the structure and...

The state of the coast (Toestand van de kust). Case study: North Holland

Over more than a thousand years, the Dutch coast has been eroding for large stretches. Coastal retreat puts coastal functions (e.g. safety against flooding) under pressure. Since 1990, the Dutch policy aims at preventing further retreat of the coastline, but in the meantime taking the valuable dynamical behaviour of the coast into account....

Coastal flood risk and trends for the future in the North Sea region

In project Safecoast, we have learned from each other by discussing our approaches to coastal flood and erosion risk management. Faced with climate change, and associated impacts on our coasts, it has proven important to analyse, compare and benchmark our methods and ideas. We found that despite the variety in societal attitudes and approaches...

Living with coastal erosion in Europe: Sediment and Space for Sustainability - A guide to coastal erosion management practices in Europe (Shoreline management guide)

The shoreline management guide is composed of the following elements: • an introduction to the criteria used to select the case studies reviewed during the project and the methodology adopted to collect information on these case studies.An extensive summary of the major lessons learned from this review, which also stand for the major elements...

Coastal erosion at Hai Hau beach in the Red River Delta, Vietnam

Many coastal areas in Vietnam suffer from erosion. One of the worst affected areas is the Hai Hau beach, located in the Red River delta in northern Vietnam. Over the last hundred years, vast parts of the beach have eroded at an average rate of approximately 25 m per year. Important agricultural land has vanished into the sea and families have...

ESTMORF Westerschelde berekeningen 2002: Baggeren en storten in de monding, fase 1

Analysis of beach nourishment schemes

The erosion of a nourished beach may be conveniently described as the sum of the linear coastal retreat and a surcharge which decreases exponentially in time. Application of this model to data from eight nourishment projects in north-western Europe has shown on average only 52% of nourished volume becomes a permanent part of the coastal volume....

Vietnam coastal zone vulnerability assessment and first steps towards integrated coastal zone management

Beach Nourishment

An analysis of "soft" measurements, in the form of beach nourishment, to protect ourselves against the sea. The rapport covers the following subject with regard to "soft" measurements: - Design of soft solution: review of design tools, practical consequences of morphological theory and failure modes - Construction methods for soft solutions:...

Coastal erosion problems at Nusa Dua Beach, Bali

In the period from 22 October up till 16 November 1985 a visit was paid to Indonesia by the author ir. G. van Bochove. The main objective of the visit of the Dutch coastal engineering expert to Bali, was to advice on the best suitable solution for the erosion problems at Nusa Dua Beach, Bali. As well short term solutions as permanent solutions...

The history of the Dutch Coast in the last century

The aims of this paper are: 1. To publish some available coastal measurements and computations of more than local importance. 2. To investigate the influence of groynes in practice. 3. To investigate the motion of the gullies in the outer deltas. The following conclusions are drawn: 1. The gross littoral drift along the Dutch coast is of the...

Coastal protection procedures: With special reference to the conditions in Florida

Overview of procedures to protect the coastline of Florida.

English and Dutch Method of Shore Protection

Discusion between van Veen and Minikin on the effectivity of groynes. Reading this discussion one should realise that at that time there was no clear understanding of wave driven longshore currents.
