Geotechnical Sampling Guidelines for Rubblemound Coastal Structures

Abstract

Purpose: To provide guidance in developing soil sampling programs for rubblemound coastal structures. Background: While there are many different types of coastal structures, a large percentage of these structures are rubblemound; i.e. jetties or breakwaters, placed on shallow foundations. The sampling guidelines discussed in this technical note are focused on geotechnical considerations for these structures.
