Length and End Slope Considerations, Interim Design Guidance Update for Nearshore Berm Construction

Abstract

This note updates length and end slope 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. Dredging Research Program (DRP) monitoring and modeling work units will continue to update this guidance as the data base and predictive techniques are improved.
