Coastal changes, caused by a shallow water sanddam in front of the Delfland coast

Along tht coastline at Ter Heijde, near Delft, a dam parallel to the coast in shallow water will be constructed havlng a horizontal crest at the level NAP -3 m on the landward side, merging into the existing coastal profile and having on the seaward side a slope 1:20. The dam will have a length of 1.5 km (fig. 1). This work will be carried out...

Coastal Changes due to the Construction of Artificial Harbour Entrances and Practical Solutions, including Beach Replenishment

When longshore sediment transport is interrupted by a construction along a coast, e.g harbour moles or a dredged approach channel, the equilibrium of the coastline may be disturbed. When the disruption is caused by breakwaters, the longshore transport that is held back will cause accretion updrift of the breakwaters and erosion downdrift of them...

Trends in sand tranfer systems

The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the factors that have been influential in the change of functional design of sand transfer systems . The more common man-made littoral barriers are presented with types of sand transfer systems employed at each type of barrier.

By-passing and backpassing with special reference to conditions in Florida

By-passing by natural action is mentioned with special reference to Florida Inlets and to some other inlets in the United States and abroad. Natural by-passing at harbors on open shores is dealt with briefly. Present status of by-passing plant operations in Florida is reviewed. Inasmuch as it is evident that by-passing plants - partly because of...
