Effects of seawalls on the adjacent beach
This study was carried out to examine the effects of seawalls on the adjacentbeach by three dimensional model test. The results obtained from model test wereanalyzed in terms of volumetric changes and shoreline and hydrographic change toquantify the effects of seawalls.The experiments were carried out in the wave basin of Coastal and OceanographicEngineering department, University of Florida. A model seawall was installedon the test beach (19mxl4m) which was initially molded into equilibriumshapes. During the test, hydrographic surveys were conducted at regular time intervals.The main variable in the experiment is the wave angle. Cases both withand without seawall were tested. (141pp.)
