Abstract: In many parts of the world, design standards now require the assessment of risks. Measures of risk are often qualitative, with descriptors such as “high,”“low,”“intolerable,” or “negligible.” The practitioner is thus left ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions to a beach evolution equation are obtained for the case where the initial beach shape may be an arbitrary function of position and where the forcing conditions may be a (known) function of time. The ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions to an extended version of the one-line model for shoreline change are derived in this paper for two cases: (1) shoreline change when the evolution of an alongshore position is a known function of time; ...

Abstract: Equilibrium models for beach morphology can be a useful engineering tool. In practice, conditions are rarely such that true equilibrium is reached or maintained. Nevertheless, equilibrium models have been used successfully ...
