| description abstract | The correlation between sediment grain size, tide fluctuations, and constructed beach fill slopes is investigated using as-built survey data from 18 beach nourishment projects in the southeastern United States. An engineering relationship is identified between median grain size and lower construction slope, where the latter is defined as the slope below an elevation related to the local mean tide level and tide range. A concise relationship between the upper construction slope and the beach-fill sediment characteristics was not evident in the data; instead, the as-built upper slope is more a function of the mechanical manipulation undertaken to meet the slope's specified value. | |
