Beach Plan Form Practice

1. Rectangular Fill.

Several nourishments are carried out on an initially straight beach.

Use your classes notes (PPTs) or the one-line theoretical solution included in the
thematic document on beach regeneration “documento temático de regeneración de
playas” (pages AII.36-39) to solve these questions.

a) Knowing that when carrying out a rectangular fill with a length of 1 kilometer, it
loses 50% of the sediment in a period of 2 years. Determine the time necessary,
in years, for the same percentage of sediment to be lost if the wave conditions
remain constant and the sand nourishment is carried out in a length of 5
kilometers.

years

b) Knowing that when carrying out a rectangular fill with a length of 1 kilometer
with average wave height of 4 m, 50% of the sediment is lost in a period of 3
years.
Determine the time required, in years, for the same percentage of sediment to be
lost and the same rectangular fill with a length of 1 kilometer if the wave height
is reduced to 1 m. If necessary, use the formulation of longitudinal sediment
transport indicated in the thematic document of beach regeneration (page
AII.39) considering only the term associated with oblique wave incidence.
Assume that the depth of closure remains constant and that you are in shallow
water depths

years

2. Rectangular Fill.

A beach nourishment has been carried out on an initially straight beach of 3 kilometers,
increasing the width of dry beach in 30 m. It is needed to regenerate this beach again
when 45% of the sediment has been lost. Determine the time required, in years, to
regenerate said beach.
Use your classes notes (PPTs) or the analytical solution of the one-line model included
in the thematic document on beach regeneration (pages AII. 36-39) to solve this
question.
If necessary, use the longitudinal transport formulation of sediment indicated in your
classes notes (PPTs) or in the thematic document on beach regeneration (page AII.39)
considering only the term associated with the oblique incidence of the waves. Consider
a value of 0.7 for the coefficient K1, a value of 2650 kg / m3 for the density of the
sediment, a value of 1030 kg / m3 for the density of water, a value of 0.4 for the
porosity and a value of 0.78 for the breaking index.
Also consider a significant wave height of 1.5 m, assume that the closure depth is
located at a depth of 7 m, the height of the berm is 2 m. and shallow water depths.

3. Littoral Barrier.

On an initially straight beach a littoral barrier is built perpendicular to said beach. The
presence of this littoral barrier generates an accumulation of sediment up-stream and
erosion downstream. You are asked to evaluate the retreat experienced by the beach at
the position where said barrier is located. It's known that after 1 year the retreat at the
position of the barrier is 70 m when the waves conditions are characterized by an angle
with respect to the perpendicular to the initial beach of 3º.
Use your classes notes (PPTs) or the analytical solution of the one-line model included
in the thematic document on beach regeneration (pages AII. 36-39) to solve these
questions.

a) Determine the shoreline retreat, in meters, at the position of the barrier after 1
year if there is a 5º increase in the wave angle. Assume that the closure depth
and that the rest of the conditions remain constant.
 b) Determine the shoreline retreat, in meters, at the position of the barrier after 2
years if the rest of the conditions remain constant.

4. Salient.

By locating a detached breakwater at a certain distance from the coastline, a Salient is

generated. Knowing that only a beach length of 330 m on each side with respect to the
axis of symmetry of the detached dike one can be affected, and that the wavelength is
60 m and that you want to obtain a salient of 120.6 m.

You are asked to:

a) Determine the distance Y in meters at which the detached breakwater should be

located.
b) Determine the width 2B in meters of the said detached breakwater.

5. Tombolo.

By locating a detached breakwater at a certain distance from the coastline, a Tombolo is

generated. It is required to determine the increase experienced in the semi-width of the
beach at the detached breakwater (BK) caused by an increase in the width of the said
detached breakwater (2B). Thus, a detached breakwater with a dimensionless half-width
(B / L) of 3 and another detached breakwater with a half-width of B2 = 1.45 B. are built.
Assuming that the wavelength remains constant and knowing that in both dikes the
semi-width dimensionless of the tombolo at the beach (B1 / L) is 6.5.

You are asked to:

a) Determine the ratio of the beach half-widths at the dikes (BK2 / BK1)

6. Tombolo.

By locating a detached breakwater at a certain distance from the coastline, a Tombolo is

generated. Knowing that the wavelength is 80 m, that the half-width of the tombolo at
the beach (B1) is 600 m and that the semi-width of the beach at the breakwater (BK) is
102.5 m.

You are asked to:

 a) Determine the distance Y in meters at which the detached breakwater should be
located.
b) Determine the width 2B in meters of the detached breakwater.

7. Equilibrium Plan Form.

A beach presents an equilibrium plan form defined by Hsu's and Evans (1989) parabolic
shape with an angle beta of 62º and a value of the parameter R0 of 2500 meters, as
indicated in the following figure.

Due to a storm, the beach experiences a retreat of 100 m in the position indicated in said
figure. Assuming that the direction of the mean energy flux remains constant, and that
the new angle beta has increased 2º.

You are asked to:

a) Determine the retreat experienced by the beach at the location of Theta = 90º.
