Prediction of Cross-Shore Movement of Dredged Material Berms.

Abstract

This technical note describes a qualitative procedure for estimating whether a near shore berm composed of sand will move onshore or off-shore under given wave conditions. The approach is illustrated by application to the dredged material berm placed at Gilgo Beach New York, and Silver Strand, California. This note revises and extends interim guidance given in Dredging Research Technical Notes (TN) DRP-5-02 concerning physical factors influencing berm movement. TN DRP-5-02 can be consulted for managerial and planning aspects of berm design and monitoring.
