  • GEOTEXTILE TUBE and GABION ARMOURED SEAWALL for COASTAL PROTECTION an ALTERNATIVE by S Sherlin Prem Nishold1, Ranganathan Sundaravadivelu 2*, Nilanjan Saha3
    PIANC-World Congress Panama City, Panama 2018 GEOTEXTILE TUBE AND GABION ARMOURED SEAWALL FOR COASTAL PROTECTION AN ALTERNATIVE by S Sherlin Prem Nishold1, Ranganathan Sundaravadivelu 2*, Nilanjan Saha3 ABSTRACT The present study deals with a site-specific innovative solution executed in the northeast coastline of Odisha in India. The retarded embankment which had been maintained yearly by traditional means of ‘bullah piling’ and sandbags, proved ineffective and got washed away for a stretch of 350 meters in 2011. About the site condition, it is required to design an efficient coastal protection system prevailing to a low soil bearing capacity and continuously exposed to tides and waves. The erosion of existing embankment at Pentha ( Odisha ) has necessitated the construction of a retarded embankment. Conventional hard engineered materials for coastal protection are more expensive since they are not readily available near to the site. Moreover, they have not been found suitable for prevailing in in-situ marine environment and soil condition. Geosynthetics are innovative solutions for coastal erosion and protection are cheap, quickly installable when compared to other materials and methods. Therefore, a geotextile tube seawall was designed and built for a length of 505 m as soft coastal protection structure. A scaled model (1:10) study of geotextile tube configurations with and without gabion box structure is examined for the better understanding of hydrodynamic characteristics for such configurations. The scaled model in the mentioned configuration was constructed using woven geotextile fabric as geo tubes. The gabion box was made up of eco-friendly polypropylene tar-coated rope and consists of small rubble stones which increase the porosity when compared to the conventional monolithic rubble mound.

This language is generally similar to the information coastal analysts have requested in the past to be included in technical studies that analyze potential impacts from coastal hazards, but includes additional detail on how to incorporate sea level rise into those analyses. Please note that the information and example language below pertains only to the coastal hazards-related portion of a CDP application. It is not meant to address other common issues such as the need for a more detailed project description or project plans, or additional information on impacts to public access and recreation, ESHA, visual resources, and so on, except insomuch as there is overlap with those issues and coastal hazards. Additionally, note that in most cases, the example language below will need to be modified, expanded, or deleted to address site or project-specific concerns.

  • 1 the Influence of Groyne Fields and Other Hard Defences on the Shoreline Configuration
    1 The Influence of Groyne Fields and Other Hard Defences on the Shoreline Configuration 2 of Soft Cliff Coastlines 3 4 Sally Brown1*, Max Barton1, Robert J Nicholls1 5 6 1. Faculty of Engineering and the Environment, University of Southampton, 7 University Road, Highfield, Southampton, UK. S017 1BJ. 8 9 * Sally Brown ([email protected], Telephone: +44(0)2380 594796). 10 11 Abstract: Building defences, such as groynes, on eroding soft cliff coastlines alters the 12 sediment budget, changing the shoreline configuration adjacent to defences. On the 13 down-drift side, the coastline is set-back. This is often believed to be caused by increased 14 erosion via the ‘terminal groyne effect’, resulting in rapid land loss. This paper examines 15 whether the terminal groyne effect always occurs down-drift post defence construction 16 (i.e. whether or not the retreat rate increases down-drift) through case study analysis. 17 18 Nine cases were analysed at Holderness and Christchurch Bay, England. Seven out of 19 nine sites experienced an increase in down-drift retreat rates. For the two remaining sites, 20 retreat rates remained constant after construction, probably as a sediment deficit already 21 existed prior to construction or as sediment movement was restricted further down-drift. 22 For these two sites, a set-back still evolved, leading to the erroneous perception that a 23 terminal groyne effect had developed. Additionally, seven of the nine sites developed a 24 set back up-drift of the initial groyne, leading to the defended sections of coast acting as 1 25 a hard headland, inhabiting long-shore drift.

  • The Effects of Urban and Economic Development on Coastal Zone Management
    sustainability Article The Effects of Urban and Economic Development on Coastal Zone Management Davide Pasquali 1,* and Alessandro Marucci 2 1 Environmental and Maritime Hydraulic Laboratory (LIAM), Department of Civil, Construction-Architectural and Environmental Engineering (DICEAA), University of L’Aquila, 67100 L’Aquila, Italy 2 Department of Civil, Construction-Architectural and Environmental Engineering (DICEAA), University of L’Aquila, 67100 L’Aquila, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The land transformation process in the last decades produced the urbanization growth in flat and coastal areas all over the world. The combination of natural phenomena and human pressure is likely one of the main factors that enhance coastal dynamics. These factors lead to an increase in coastal risk (considered as the product of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability) also in view of future climate change scenarios. Although each of these factors has been intensively studied separately, a comprehensive analysis of the mutual relationship of these elements is an open task. Therefore, this work aims to assess the possible mutual interaction of land transformation and coastal management zones, studying the possible impact on local coastal communities. The idea is to merge the techniques coming from urban planning with data and methodology coming from the coastal engineering within the frame of a holistic approach. The main idea is to relate urban and land changes to coastal management. Then, the study aims to identify if stakeholders’ pressure motivated the Citation: Pasquali, D.; Marucci, A. deployment of rigid structures instead of shoreline variations related to energetic and sedimentary The Effects of Urban and Economic Development on Coastal Zone balances.

BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 55(2-3): 1240-1250, 1994 COASTAL STRUCTURES, WASTE MATERIALS AND FISHERY ENHANCEMENT K. J, Collins, A. C. Jensen, A. P. M, Lockwood and S. J. Lockwood ABSTRACT Current U.K. practice relating to the disposal of material at sea is reviewed. The usc of stabilization technology relating to bulk waste materials, coal ash, oil ash and incinerator ash is discussed. The extension of this technology to inert minestone waste and tailings, contam- inated dredged sediments and phosphogypsum is explored. Uses of stabilized wastes arc considered in the areas of habitat restoration, coastal defense and fishery enhancement. It is suggested that rehabilitation of marine dump sites receiving loose waste such as pulverized fuel ash (PFA) could be enhanced by the continued dumping of the material but in a stabilized block form, so creating new habitat diversity. Global warming predictions include sea It:vel rise and increased storm frequency. This is of particular concern along the southern and eastern coasts of the U.K. The emphasis of coastal defenses is changing from "hard" seawalls to "soft" options which include offshore barriers to reduce wave energy reaching the coast.

  • Coastal Hazards & Flood Mapping – a Visual Guide
    COASTAL HAZARDS & FLOOD MAPPING A VISUAL GUIDE Coastal communities are special places and home to important resources. But what makes them so distinctive is also what makes them at high risk for floods. Floods are the nation’s costliest natural disasters, and coastal communities face many flood risks. These include storm surges, powerful waves, and erosion — all of which can cause extensive damage to homes, businesses, and public spaces. When a coastal storm approaches, community leaders and members of the media may use technical terms to describe storm-related risks. This visual guide explains these terms and how they relate to information shown on flood maps.

The Yunlin coast, a first-level protection area in mid-west Taiwan, was then used as an example to illustrate the proposed design criteria. The safety of the present coastal defenses and land use of the Yunlin coastal area was assessed, and coastal protection measures for hazard prevention were proposed based on the generated risk map. The results can be informative for future coastal management and the promotion of sustainable development of coastal zones. Keywords: coastal defense; risk maps; non-engineering measure; coastal vulnerability 1. Introduction Like most developing countries, Taiwan’s coast has been alternatively used for settlement, agriculture, trade, industry, and recreation without careful and thorough planning in the development stage since 70s.
