Revetment Stability Study, Fort Fisher State Historic Site, North Carolina. Hydraulic Model Investigation.
Abstract
A hydraulic model investigation was conducted using a two-dimensional (2-D) stability model at an undistorted linear scale of 1:24 (model to prototype). The purposes of the stability tests were as follows: Develop both special- and random-placed armor-stone revetment designs that will be stable for storm conditions which would generate depth-limited breaking waves at the -4.0 ft National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) contour for a still-water level (swl) of +10.7 ft NGVD. Determine the stability response of all plans to depth-limited breaking waves at the -4.0 ft contour for swl's of +8.0 and +5.0, and Check the stabilities of the optimum designs (as determined from the model tests and selected by the Wilmington District) when exposed to depth-limited breaking waves at the -4.0 ft contour for swl's of +13.0 and +15.0.
