Berm Crest Width Considerations, Interim Design Guidance Update for Nearshore Berm Construction (Dredging Research Technical Notes)

Abstract

This note updates berm crest width considerations presented in Dredging Research Technical Notes DRP-5-02, "Interim Design Guidance for Nearshore Berm Construction" (McLellan, Kraus, and Burke 1990). Presented are preliminary results of a numerical analysis applied to generic berm configurations, which highlight berm effects on the local wave climate. Minimum berm widths for maximum wave height reduction benefits are presented. Dredging Research Program (DRP) monitoring and modeling work units will continue to update this guidance as the database and predictive techniques are improved.
