Johannessen: Soft Shore Protection as an Alternative to Bulkheads Soft Shore Protection as an Alternative to Bulkheads— Projects And Monitoring

by Jim W. Johannessen
"... Traditional “hard ” bulkheading has been the norm at Puget Sound and Northwest Straits shores until very recently, when “soft shore protection ” alternatives have been encouraged by regulators and well-informed citizens. Soft shore protection locally entails the use of indigenous materials such as g ..."

BULKHEADS

by unknown authors
"... Bulkheads are retaining wall-like structures whose primary purpose is to hold or prevent the sliding of soil caused by wave erosion. Mason County issues bulkhead permits in areas where serious wave erosion threatens an established use or existing buildings on upland property. In many areas, wave ero ..."

to make shore protection measures unnecessary. " In other words, the most long-term, preventative means of shoreline property protection is a construction setback in which the residence is built a safe distance (setback) from the shoreline. An adequate setback will prevent the residence from being

The economic analysis of ‘soft’ versus ‘hard’ solutions for shore protection: an example

by David R. Basco, Ph. D, P. E. Mem Asce - Proc. 26th International Conference on Coastal Engineering , 1998
"... This paper presents the design and economic analysis for two alternatives (soft-versus-hard) for shore protection of facilities at the US Navy's Fleet Combat Training Center, Dam Neck, Virginia, USA. Three key factors are discussed that resulted in the selection of the soft alternative (dune co ..."

1 Sand-filled Geotextile Containers for Shore Protection

by H. Oumeraci, M. Hinz, M. Bleck, A. Kortenhaus
"... In search for soft, sustainable and easily reversible coastal protection measures a con-cept was found which was already applied to close a dike line during the end of the 1950. Since that time sand containers have mainly been used as temporary protection or safety measures because long-term con-str ..."

PHYSICAL AND 2D NUMERICAL MODELING OF WAVE FIELD IN THE VICINITY OF GAPS IN BRUSHWOOD FENCES USED AS SOFT SHORE PROTECTION STRUCTURES

by Selim M Sayah
"... ABSTRACT A common soft protection measure, called brushwood fences, is widely used in shallow regions of large lakes in Switzerland where high waves, during major wind events, are able to reach the shore and induce severe erosion. Mainly constructed of wooden piles and tree branches, brushwood fenc ..."

An evaluation of the economic performance of the US Army Corps of Engineers shore protection program

by T. M. Hillyer, E. Z. Stakhiv, R. A. Sudar - Journal of Coastal Research , 1997
"... a request from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The investigation disclosed that the USACE shoreline protection program covers 8 percent of the nation's 2,700 miles of critically eroding shoreline and consists of 82 specifically authorized projects. Total actual expenditures, includin ..."

2008 Taiwan-Polish Joint Seminar on Coastal Protection D-1 Sustainable Measures of Shore Protection Against Erosion and Flooding

by Rafal Ostrowski, Marek Szmytkiewicz
"... Protection of sea coasts often refers to the manipulation of environmental processes on the level of coast within spatial and time scale. It should be aimed at coastline preservation together with saving of the natural environment. Within the worldwide trend in shore protection, activities friendly ..."

Some regulatory programs were created in order to respond to a demand for hard shoreline structures (e.g., bulkheads) to hold the coast in a fixed location, and have not shifted to retreat or soft shore protection (e.g., bea ..."
