Behavior of Sand-Asphalt Groins at Ocean City, Maryland,

Abstract

Forty-three sand-asphalt groins were constructed at Ocean City, Maryland, in 1954-55, and their behavior has been monitored since construction. The performance of the structures is discussed with a view that should other experimental work be undertaken on the use of sand-asphalt in coastal structures, these performance data may be utilized for planning and guidance in carrying out the test program.
