Book Description
Beach erode and accrete in response to varying waves, water levels, and currents in the nearshore zone. During storms beach and dune erosion can occur quickly, causing shoreline recession and damage to property and upland resources. Hence, protection of upland infrastructure is a primary concern of coastal engineering. Beach nourishment is a preferred method of providing such protection, and many beach-fill projects have been designed and constructed in recent years. Design of such fills requires an understanding of and the capability to predict sediment transport processes that control beach response to storms. Numerical modeling of beach evolution can be applied to assist in project design. Numerical models provide a framework for predicting project response, objectively evaluating design alternatives and analyzing data to develop an understanding of coastal processes. The Storm-induced BEAch CHange (SBEACH) numerical model is an engineering tool for simulating beach profile evolution in response to storms. This report, the fourth in a series describing the development of SBEACH, describes recent model enhancements developed to improve calculation of sediment transport under random waves. A comprehensive evaluation of model capabilities in predicting beach and dune erosion is presented using high-quality laboratory and field data of beach profile change.

Pages : 288
Book Description
A comprehensive introduction to coastal storms and their associated impacts Coastal Storms offers students and professionals in the field a comprehensive overview and groundbreaking text that is specifically devoted to the analysis of coastal storms. Based on the most recent knowledge and contributions from leading researchers, the text examines coastal storms’ processes and characteristics, the main hazards (such as overwash, inundation and flooding, erosion, structures overtopping), and how to monitor and model storms. The authors include information on the most advanced innovations in forecasting, prediction, and early warning, which serves as a foundation for accurate risk evaluation and developing adequate coastal indicators and management options. In addition, structural overtopping and damage are explained, taking into account the involved hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes. The monitoring methods of coastal storms are analyzed based on recent results from research projects in Europe and the United States. Methods for vulnerability and risk evaluation are detailed, storm impact indicators are suggested for different hazards and coastal management procedures analyzed. This important resource includes: Comprehensive coverage of storms and associated impacts, including meteorological coastal storm definitions and related potential consequences A state-of-the-art reference for advanced students, professionals and researchers in the field Chapters on monitoring methods of coastal storms, their prediction, early warning systems, and modeling of consequences Explorations of methods for vulnerability and risk evaluation and suggestions for storm impact indicators for different hazards and coastal management procedures Coastal Storms is a compilation of scientific and policy-related knowledge related to climate-related extreme events. The authors are internationally recognized experts and their work reflects the most recent science and policy advances in the field.

ISBN: 981468998X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 3129
Book Description
This Proceedings contains over 260 papers on cutting-edge research presented at the eighth international Symposium on Coastal Sediment Processes, held May 11 - 15, 2015, in San Diego, California, USA. This technical specialty conference was devoted to promoting an interdisciplinary exchange of state-of-the-art knowledge among researchers in the fields of coastal engineering, geology, oceanography, and related disciplines, with the theme of Understanding and Working with Nature.Focusing on the physical aspects of the sediment processes in various coastal environments, this Proceedings provides findings from the latest research and newest engineering applications. Sessions covered a wide range of topics including barrier islands, beaches, climate and sea level, cohesive and noncohesive sediments, coastal bluffs, coastal marsh, dredged sediments, inlet and navigation channels, regional sediment management, river deltas, shore protection, tsunamis, and vegetation-sediment interaction. Several special sessions included: Relevant science for changing coastlines: A Tribute to Gary Griggs; North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study and post-super-storm Sandy work; long-term coastal evolution; barrier islands of Louisiana; sea-level rise and super storms in a warming world; predicting decadal coastal geomorphic evolution; and contrasting Pacific coastal behavior with El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), are also featured.
