Low cost rock structures for beach control and coast protection: Practical design guidance SR 631

Coastal rock structures are widely used in coastal engineering for a variety o f purposes, includiag 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...

Les Enrochements

La question préalable est de savoir pourquoi l'on envisage des ouvrages de protection, pourquoi ces protections sont prévues au moyen d'enrochements et quelle est, dans ce cas, l' utilisation que l'on en fait? A défaut de liste exhaustive, difficile à dresser en raison de la diversité des problèmes, on retiendra essentiellement: - la défense du...
