Sediments Impounded by an Offshore Breakwater
The breakwater and entrance jetties for the Channel Islands Harbor in California form a total littoral barrier to longshore sand transport. The sand impounded by these structures was monitored by repetitive bathymetric surveys and systematic surface sand sampling. This paper discusses patterns of sediment deposition behind an offshore breakwater. Data collected were studied to determine if the deposition observed agrees with that predicted prior to construction. Both the geometry and size distribution of the deposition sediment are examined. Three dimensional computer plots are used to illustrate filling patterns. Sediment size and sorting distribution which occur during filling are investigated. Analyzed data allows an evaluation of predicted verses actual filling patterns. Sediment distribution in the impoundment area was evaluated. (Author)
