Permeable groins of concrete check beach erosion
Beach and bluff at Cudahy, Wis, on Lake Michigan, protected by drain back of crest to intercept surface water, drains tapping face of bluff for underground water and permeable outshore groins to build up beach; theory of progressive permeability in construction of groin; permeability of groin to flow of water through structure increasing with distance out from shore; groins were built of precast concrete elements.
