Abstract: Guidelines are provided for inspection and selective placement of quarrystone armor units used for breakwaters, jetties, and revetments. General guidelines are suggested for procurement and inspection of stone at quarries, ...

Abstract: An approximate method is presented for estimating wind-wave growth over flooded areas where there is a major effect from bottom friction because of dense vegetation. The method estimates wave growth using an adjusted fetch ...

Abstract: Revised criteria is presented for wave shoaling after breaking on a plane beach and for resulting wave forces on a wall landward of the still-water line. Existing criteria is based on the assumption that the wave height ...

Abstract: A case study is presented for a new, one‐year Coastal Engineering Education Program (CEEP) implemented by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the purpose of developing coastal engineers. The CEEP was developed jointly ...

Abstract: A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers program has been established to monitor completed coastal projects. Reports have been made to date for 12 projects, evaluating their functional and structural performance. Projects monitored ...

Abstract: A method is presented for determining the longshore travel distance of wave energy reflected from a coastal structure. These reflected waves may become trapped by refraction, causing reflected wave energy to impact the ...
