This book provides guidance for the design and placement of beach
stabilization structures, specifically groins, nearshore
breakwaters and submerged sills. Groin dimensions such as height,
length, spacing, and permeability, and their effects on a groin's
functional performance are examined along with the use of physical
and mathematical models to evaluate designs. Chapters also cover
various design factors; the effect of breakwaters on nearshore
circulation, wave conditions in the breakwater's lee, longshore
transport, and onshore-offshore transport; and both construction
and postconstruction activities are also addressed.
