Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation Research Program. Case Histories of Corps Breakwater and Jetty Structures. Report. 1. South Pacific Division.

Abstract

This report is the first in a series of case histories of US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) breakwater and jetty structures at nine Corps divisions. Herein, case histories are presented for 28 breakwater and jetty structures located within the US Army Engineer Division, South Pacific (SPD), which encompasses the entire California shoreline. Presently, there are approximately 171,870 lin ft of breakwater and jetty structures managed by SPD. These structures are predominantly of rubble-mound construction. Twenty-one of the projects have undergone repair and/or modification during their lifetimes. A variety of repair methods have been utilized including replacement and/or addition of armor stone, placement of concrete armor units, and use of concrete and concrete caps.
