Low Cost Rock Structures for Beach Control and Coast Protection: Practical design guidance

Coastal rock structures are widely used in coastal engineering for a variety of purposes, including controlling the morphological development of beaches and providing protection against coastal erosion or flooding by wave overtopping. Strict adherence to existing design guidance has resulted in many of these structures being built using multiple...

Design of timber groynes

The performance and durability of timber groynes (or 'groins') is highly dependent on the design and detailing of the structure. Using knowledge and experience developed over generations an effective functional design can be achieved, which may ultimately result in lower whole life costs and provide environmental advantages over alternative...
