Flooding resulting from hurricanes and other extreme storm events is a prominent risk along the coasts. These coastal areas are typically of low elevation and relief,making land and infrastructure highly susceptible to inundation by storm surge and waves. These verity of this threat is exacerbated by sea level rise and a possible increase in...

Hughes, S.A. (author)
This report is a compilation of facts and information that summarizes the present state of knowledge related to wave attack on the flood side of earthen levees. Particular emphasis was placed on the need for providing flood-side armoring (beyond the protection afforded by grass) for the New Orleans Hurricane & Storm Damage Risk Reduction System ...

Hughes, S.A. (author)
A 1-to-25 scale physical model of a typical cross section of the levee along the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO) was con-structed at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory in Vicksburg, MS. The purpose of the physical model was to obtain hydrodynamic measurements of unsteady flow...

Turk, G.F. (author), Melby, J.A. (author)
The Core-Loc, invented and developed at the Waterways Experiment Station (WES), is a new-generation, optimized breakwater concrete armor unit for protecting shoreline and navigation structures.Because of the very difficult construction, in-service, and repair conditions associated with high-energy wave environments, a need was identified to...

Hubertz, J.M. (author), Brandon, W.A. (author)
This report provides revised wave information at 108 nearshore locations along the US Atlantic coastline and 3 stations along the north coast of Puerto Rico. It supersedes information provided in WIS Reports 2, 6, and 9. The information is derived from wind fields developed in a previous hindcast for the period 1956-1975 and the present version...

Larson, M. (author), Kraus, N.C. (author)
This study develops empirical predictive expressions for design of nearshore berms formed of dredged material. Such berms are placed in the form of long linear sand bars and are expected to behave as natural bars. The study examines the cross-shore movement of natural longshore bars at Duck, North Carolina. Beach profile survey data are...

Kennedy, J.F. (author), Odgaard, A.J. (author)
This report presents an investigation of riverine sand dunes and includes an extensive literature review on the subject. It was concluded that the principal mechanisms responsible for river bed instability, which results in the production of ripples, dunes, etc., are fairly well understood. However, several of the key constituent processes are...

Carver, R.D. (author), Heimbauch, M.S. (author)
The purpose of the model investigation reported herein was to obtain design information for stone and dolos armor used on breakwater heads and subjected to breaking waves. More specifically, it was desired to determine the minimum weight of individual armor units (with given specific weights) required for stability as a function of sea-side...

Shen, H.W. (author), Larsen, E. (author)
The process of meandering has a powerful influence on man's use of rivers and river valleys. Flood control; navigation; bank protection; water supply projects; agricultural and urban development; transportation systems; and pipeline adjacent to rivers all require a sound knowledge of the meandering process, in order to he successful, with...

Hales, L.Z. (author)
A multitude of conceptual models of floating breakwaters have been proposed without extensive or complete evaluation of most of these concepts. The technical literature regarding floating breakwater applicability and design procedures is fragmentary and sometimes confusing. Clear, concise guidance does not always exist for those responsible for...

Hall, V.L. (author), Ludwig, J.D. (author)
Erosional problems and damages include loss of land, imperilment to roadways, loss of recreational beach, loss of access to the lakes and structural damage to dwellings, boathouses, docks, and stairways: Some shoreline conditions along the Great Lakes are difficult to alter to control erosion, particularly in areas where there is no beach or...

Kamel, A.M. (author), Davidson, D.D. (author)
Two new types of mobile breakwaters consisting of tire and sphere assemblies, respectively, were tested. Tests covered a wide range of wave conditions, water depths, and breakwater dimensions. Experimental measurements were made to determine the wave reflection and wave transmission coefficients, the power dissipated by the breakwaters, and the...

Bowen, A.J. (author), Inman, D.L. (author)
This report shows the results of a detailed analysis of the various littoral processes which affect the California Coast between Pismo Beach and Santa Barbara. The method involves the concept of a sand budget based on the transport rates of all significant littoral processes. Each process is examined to assess the sedimentary contributions ...

Neiheisel, J. (author)
The distribution patterns of bottom sediment in Brunswick Harbor and vicinity, Georgia, reflect the long-term hydrodynamic response and generally correlate with dynamic factors affecting edimentation. Certain diagnostic minerals reflect the source area and are used as "natural tracers" to delineate direction of sediment movement. Analysis of...

Belly, P.Y. (author)
Sand movement on the coast by wind action can be a major factor in some areas, yet very little is known about the basic mechanisms of movement by wind. With the growing use of artificial placement of sand material for beach restoration and protection, movement of sand by wind in the area shoreward of the waterline has become more and more a...
