Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation Research Program: Case Histories of Corps Breakwater and Jetty Structures. Report 7. New England Division

Abstract

This report is seventh in a series of case histories of US Army Cor ps of Engineers (Corps) breakwater and jetty structures at nine Corps divisions. Chronological histories are presented for 52 projects located along the New England coastline and managed by US Army Engineer Division, New England (NED). Presently, NED is responsible for 37 jetties and 46 breakwaters which have a cumulative length of 154,185 ft and are almost entirely of stone construction. Localized damage from wave attack appears to be the major cause of structural deterioration. A total of 36 projects has has structural modifications and/or repairs since original construction. Almost all the repairs have consisted of placing new stone on the structures.
