BEACH STABILIZATION TESTS OF LANDING MATS AND PREFABRICATED MEMBRANES

Abstract

The test program described in this report was conducted to obtain factual information for use in evaluating the relative effectiveness of several standard and experimental metal mats and prefabricated membranes in stabilizing unprepared beach sites subject to the action of waves and tides, and thus increase the trafficability potential of beaches for use in emergency offshore discharge operations.
