Aspects of the Federal beach erosion control project at Virginia Beach, Virginia are described with particular emphasis directed to the sources, characteristics, costs, methods of placement and quantities of material periodically placed on the beach following project inception The beach response to nourishment is analyzed on the basis of yearly survey records compiled from data gathered by the sea-sled direct leveling technique The quantity of annual nourishment material required to maintain present beach dimensions is determined to be approximately 141,000 cubic yards.

The Bacton Sandscaping scheme is a large-scale beach nourishment, designed to protect the Bacton Gas Terminal from cliff and beach erosion while also reducing flood and erosion risk to the communities of Bacton and Walcott, buying the time they need for adaptation to coastal change. The scheme was inspired by the even larger Dutch Zandmotor project, translating the concept to the different geography and governance setting of the UK - it can be seen as the Zandmotor's 'little nephew'. The term 'Sandscaping' was introduced to illustrate the large-scale and ambitious nature of the concept: work at a large scale, designing to work with natural processes and to achieve multiple objectives.Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): https://youtu.be/FA3DjdCgKrk

Sheltering Effect

Golden Beach in Taiwan is a sandy beach attracting many beachgoers because of its wide sandy beach and beautiful sunset. In recent years, this beach has been eroded. The cause of the beach erosion is considered to be due to the wave-sheltering effect of the Anping Harbor breakwaters constructed 4 km north of the beach. Now the restoration of sandy beach is underway by the construction of groins as well as beach nourishment using sand procured from the downcoast deposition area. This study aims to investigate the cause of the beach erosion of this beach to work out the effective measures against beach erosion.

Control Work

We performed experiments in the laboratory under controlled conditions in order to determine the applicability of a sub-sand filter system to the beach erosion control work. The filter system is used to control a flow condition at the sediment-fluid boundary. In the foreshore, it increases the inflowing velocity into the beach and thus results in increasing the threshold of beach sediment movement. The sub-sand filter system accelerates accretion of much beach sediment in the foreshore through the development of a berm under normal wave conditions. When wave conditions change from normal to stormy , it is also applicable to stabilize the beach profile, and thus decrease loss of beach sediment from the foreshore to the offshore.

In the southern part of Sanur Beach in Bali, beach erosion has occurred between groins after extensive beach nourishment, resulting in shoreline rotation between the groins. The cause of shoreline changes was investigated by field observations, including a bathymetric survey and the sampling of seabed materials, and numerical simulations of beach changes were carried out using Noshi et al.’s model. It was concluded that the shoreline rotation was triggered by the dredging of the reef flat, which caused a change in the wave direction on the reef flat due to the diffraction of waves.

Large Scale Project

Beach erosion is prevalent on China’s 18,000 km-long coastline, which has been aggravating due to urban development, river-damming and soil and water conservation projects since late 1970s. Beach erosion threatens the health of beaches of bathing places throughout the world. An effective way to defense the beach erosion is beach nourishment. In this paper, the study on an experimental beach nourishment project, which was conducted to provide data and experience for a large-scale project, was detailed. Field survey was conducted to study the performance of the project. Before and after the project, 8 monitoring profiles had been kept measuring along with the berm positions. The beach profile measurement indicates that after a little retreat the beach got relatively equilibrium, while the berm measurement shown a broadened intertidal zone getting stable eventually. In a word, the filled beach was eroded a little but finally got relatively stable in the survey period.
