Guidance and Lessons Learned from Monitoring Completed Navigation Projects
Abstract
The purpose of this report is to provide comprehensive site-specific and generic lessons learned from intensive monitoring of 12 different project features at each of 38 navigation projects located in 16 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Districts around the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and other Pacific islands. Generic lessons learned from seven geographic regions (Hawaii and the Pacific Islands, Alaska, Pacific coast of the U. S. mainland, Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic coast of the U. S. mainland, the Great Lakes, and inland navigation sites) have been deduced from the site-specific lessons learned for each of these seven geographic regions. From these generic lessons learned after several years of monitoring and/or periodic inspection, data collection, and data analyses at each of the 38 navigation projects, guidance has been developed for planning and design of 12 navigation project features evaluated by the MCNP program to the present time. The 12 navigation project features for which guidance has been developed include: (1) breakwaters, (2) floating breakwaters, (3) beach nourishment and sediment transport, (4) jetties, (5) jetty spurs, (6) weir-jetties, (7) inlets, (8) wave transformation, (9) harbors, (10) confined aquatic disposal (CAD) cells, (11) breakwater stone deterioration, and (12) inland navigation dam submersible gates.
