Case Study: Village of Surfside, TX, Design, Performance, and Adaptive Management of Coastal Structures
The following paper presents a case study of the Village of Surfside, Texas, where various coastal structures have been analyzed, designed, constructed, and monitored. The lessons learned from the performance of a revetment during Hurricane Ike is presented, which was assessed after the storm and modifications were implemented at various stages to ensure its future performance. The various structural and non-structural solutions that were proposed aim to increase the resiliency of the Village of Surfside’s coastal community. This paper also discusses the unique hydrodynamic and morphodynamic conditions at this site due to the receding delta, navigation channel, and jetties, the solutions that have been proposed and the priority of implementation based on funding constraints. The features that have been constructed have been tested during extreme events and were monitored to determine their performance. The revetment structure has been enhanced two times since its original construction to adapt to the damage experienced during Hurricane Ike and increased ongoing erosion due to a hot spot near its terminus. Future erosion response project construction work in the area will likely consist of groins, which would be implemented as part of the overall resiliency plan for the community.
