PART ONE. INTRODUCTION TO COASTAL PROCESSES
3 Long-Term Processes
3.2 Equilibrium Beach Profile
The concept of an equilibrium profile, - is the average beach response to the
natural forcing- makes it possible to determine several beach responses to
changes in forcing.
The equilibrium profile depends on sediment size, wave height and
period, and water level.
![Page 37: Coastal engineering introduction](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042607/55ab33841a28ab5b7a8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

moon, ranging from cm. till several meters depending on location)
4.2 Storm Surges (wind velocities from scale 1: pressure<980 mbar, 96-
110 mph, surge 5 ft, moderate damage till scale 5: pressure <920 winds
>155 mph surge >18 ft damage Catastrophic)

5.1 Water Wave Mechanics
5.2 Cross-Shore and Longshore Currents
η (x,t) = (H/2)cos(kx-σt) k=2π/L and σ=2π/T
![Page 41: Coastal engineering introduction](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042607/55ab33841a28ab5b7a8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

PART TWO. HYDRODYNAMICS OF THE COASTAL ZONE.Wave refraction, difraction, and reflection.
Wave refraction is produced due to interaction of sea bottom in shallow waters with waves and
when bathimetry is parallel to the shore the Snell optical law can be applied with waves changing
direction to shallower waters.
Wave difraction happens around the border of obstacles.
Wave reflexion occurs in front of vertical walls producing stationary effects.
Wave breaking happens in shallow waters when the heigh of wave is about 0,78 water depth.

depth.
Hallermeir Formula for closure depth:
The variables are here functions of time measured in years, H(t) e is the
significant wave height that is exceeded during only 12 h in the time t, and
T (t) e is the associated period.
Longshore sediment transport:
Bedload transport, which is either in sheet flow or rolled along the bottom
Suspended load, which is carried up within the fluid column and moved by currents
Swash load, which is moved on the beach face by the swash.
For littoral transport:

PART FOUR. SHORELINE MODIFICATION AND ANALYSIS
1. Climate Change will have direct and indirect effects on Coastal Areas
- water levels will increase
- wave heights may increase in some areas
- wave directions will change
- frequency and intensity of storms will increase at least in some areas,
which might also cause more intensive wave conditions
This will result in:
2. Higher loads on the coast and on coastal structures
- retreat of the coast
- changed long-shore sediment transport
![Page 60: Coastal engineering introduction](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042607/55ab33841a28ab5b7a8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
PART FOUR. SHORELINE MODIFICATION AND ANALYSIS

- increase in probability of failure
- increase of flooded area
- increase of water level in flooded area
- higher risks in coastal areas
4. with adaptation
- higher costs for coastal protection

Lessons learnt
* To counter the recurring problem of lack of data (waves, currents, other), a major tenet of coastal engineering should be to design flexibility wherever possible
into every project to correct for unknown parameters and poorly estimated factors and to allow for fine-tuning of the project afterwards.

Engineering approach to coastal engineering
The best understanding of coastal processes, including the nearshore flows
and the resulting sediment transport, and the ability to transform it into
effective engineering measures require the following:
A blend of analytical capability,
An interest in the workings of nature,
The ability to interpret many complex and apparently conflicting
pieces of evidence, and
4. Experience gained from studying a variety of shorelines and working with
many coastal projects.
