Book Description
Tybee Island is a barrier island located immediately south of the mouth of the Savannah River. Natural processes and modifications introduced by man have promoted a complex history of shoreline evolution which has important implications for other 'developed' barrier islands. Periodic reorientation of the shoreline has caused a history of localized erosion and localized protection efforts. This has resulted in the sequential construction of numerous groins, seawalls, and revetments, in addition to periodic beach nourishment activities. Each of these efforts is analyzed and presented along with a review of the various engineering and geologic studies which have been conducted over the last 50 years. The current status of erosion and erosion control efforts is presented. Recommendations are also offered. Keywords: Beach erosion; Shore protection; Coast changes; Coastal engineering.

Beach Nourishment Techniques
Author: Richard D. Hobson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Beach erosion
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
This report is a compendium of beach nourishment project characteristics for 20 typical U.S. shore segments for which the use of beach fill sediments from offshore borrow source areas has been suggested as a remedy for shore erosion. Data are provided to establish a basis for long-range planning of nourishment projects and systems. For each example project, the data provided consist of: history and description, location and bathymetry, fill and borrow site characteristics and specifications, design fill section, sediment grain size distributions, and fill calculations. (Author).
