The construction of an underwater mound of sand for the protection and improvement of Durban's beaches has been recommended on the basis of intensive investigations These investigations included prototype measurements of beach changes as related to recorded sea conditions, basic scaling tests in which these beach changes were reproduced to scale in movable bed models and tests of the proposed underwater mound in models, using different scales in order to eliminate possible scale effects The test results showed that, provided the shear-settling velocity similarity criterion is satisfied, beach changes can be reproduced in a movable bed model to a reasonable degree of accuracy Optimum dimensions for the cross section of the mound were determined on the basis of the criterion for erosive and non-erosive wave conditions which was derived from the prototype beach profile changes and confirmed by model tests The resulting dimensions are a mound of sand about 4 5 km long, about 1 200 m offshore, reaching to 7 3 m below LWOST, with side slopes of 1 in 25 and a crest width of 61 m 3 3 Of the total quantity required (8 000 000 m ) some 2 500 000 m of sand, available from harbour dredging works in Durban Bay, had been dumped by May, 1970 Model predictions on mound stability and beach improvements were confirmed to a high degree of accuracy by the full scale events.

In the present study, effects of irregular waves on two-dimensional beach transformation and related phenomena were investigated through a series of laboratory experiments. Attempts were made to determine a representative wave of irregular wave trains which controlled individual phenomenon related to the two-dimensional beach profile change. It was found that the representative wave is different for each phenomenon. For the macroscopic beach profile change, it is the mean wave which represents whole incident waves. On the other hand, some of microscopic phenomena, such as initiation of sand movement and sand ripple formation, are controlled by larger waves in the wave train selectively, of which representative wave is the significant wave.

Profile Change

Two-dimensional beach profile changes were investigated with a newly constructed prototype-scale wave flume. The flume is 205 m long, 3.4 m wide and 6 m deep. Sand of two grain sizes was used in the experiments. Analysis of the results was made through use of the parameter C, introduced by Sunamura and Horikawa (1974) to classify beaches as either erosional and accretionary. Beach profile changes obtained in the flume were similar to those in the prototype (field). Net sand transport rate distributions were classified into five types, two of which do not seem to have been observed in laboratory (smallscale) experiments. A simple model describing the five types was developed for evaluating two-dimensional beach profile changes.
