Prediction of Eroded Versus Accreted Beaches

Abstract

Purpose: To present revised procedures for predicting whether a beach profile of a specified sand size will tend to erode or accrete under incident waves of given height and period. This CETN supplements pages 4-83 through 4-85 of the Shore Protection Manual (SPM 1984) which describe beach change produced by cross-shore sand transport.
