The purpose of this paper is to present the results of three years of field observations on low cost beach protection structures in use on the Great Lakes. The structures were studied in regard to their effectiveness as beach building and protective devices and with respect to their durability in resisting ice and wave forces. The term "low cost" refers to structures which cost between $10 and $50 per foot of frontage at 1952 prices.

Analysis of a large shoreline database (from 1878 to 2017) and recompilation of information on type/age of shore protection structures along the Northern Tuscany, allowed a deep insight of the progressive armouring of this coastal sector. The area experienced beach erosion since the end of the 19th century due to reduced sediment inputs from rivers and harbour constructions. Shore protection structures started to develop at the beginning of the 20th century, first to protect settlements and coastal roads, later to maintain a beach for tourist activity. The changing of the goal and the increasing awareness of the negative impact of some structures resulted in an evolution of coastal defence projects: initially, seawalls and revetments, later detached breakwaters and, more recently, groins. Today, a reduction in hard structures is perceived by removing or lowering detached breakwaters and groins below mean sea level. The forcing function of the growing tourism industry is producing a demand for projects and their design is detailed in this paper: results will be of use in the correct design of a long-term, general, erosion management plan to restore the natural sediment circulation patterns.

The results of a study of communities of zooperiphyton from stone embankments of shore protection structures in the downstream of Kaniv hydroelectric in the autumn period has been presented. Inverse relationship between quantitative indexes of zooperiphyton (as density and biomass) its diversity and the distance from the hydroelectric dam was founded.

Abstract. The shores of seas, lakes, bays and reservoirs under the action of wind waves, drifting level ice, rainwater, wind erosion and other factors are subject to intensive destruction. As a result of this, the areas of valuable agricultural land and other lands are reduced. The destruction of the coasts is accompanied by landslides, which reduce the area of settlements where residential buildings, urban buildings, industrial enterprises, park areas, roads and other communications are located. In such cases there is a need for the construction of special protection structures, which will protect coasts from destruction. There are two methods of coastal protection ‒ active and passive. Experience in coastal protection shows, that in many cases, these methods can be successful when applied jointly. The types of structures of shore protection structures are diverse. Therefore, the main task of designers is to choose the most optimal of them, taking into account the climatic, hydrological and engineering-geological conditions of the region construction. The aim of this work is to create a progressive method of construction of shore protection structures on shallow shores of the seas and in shallow reservoirs. This paper considers the existing and innovative designs of shore protection structures made of various materials, the conditions of their use and technical and economic characteristics are analyzed. Based on the analysis, a progressive method of construction of shore protection structures from gabions is proposed. The using of the proposed method for the construction of shore protection structures from a box type gabion will speed up the construction process of such structures, as well as reduce the volume of material at the base, which will lead to a significant reduction in the cost of construction. The mass of gabions in each project should be determined on the parameters of the waves of the design storm in accordance to the recommendations of standards.

The Great Lakes region is one of quiet challenge and absorbing interest to the coastal engineer. From the broad pattern of its morphologic history to the detail of its present-day shoreline it presents a fascinating variety of natural phenomena and man-imposed regimen that has controlled and still conditions its shoreline behavior. Many of the features of the behavior pattern and its controls are recognized and subject to beneficial management) some of these are either not recognized or are ignored by coastal experts who should know better; while others are as yet beyond the capabilities of the methods of beneficial management available today.


В учебном пособии изложены основные сведения по берегоукрепительным сооружениям водных объектов. В нем содержатся рекомендации по конструированию отдельных элементов берегоукрепления, при этом основной акцент сделан на использование природных и природоприближенных материалов, гибких откосных конструкций с приоритетом экологических требований. Даны краткие рекомендации по методам расчета параметров берегоукрепления разных типов и оценки их стоимостных показателей. Учебное пособие содержит сведения, необходимые для формирования профессиональных компетенций при подготовке бакалавров по направлению 20.03.02 «Природообустройство и водопользование» и рекомендуется Научно-методическим советом по природообустройству и водопользованию для использования в учебном процессе. Учебное пособие может быть использовано студентами при выполнении курсовых и дипломных проектов, курсовых и выпускных работ бакалаврами и магистрами других направлений подготовки и специальностей факультетов РГАУ-МСХА, студентами сельскохозяйственных и строительных вузов, выполняющих домашние задания и расчетно-графические работы.
