Interim Design Guidance for Nearshore Berm Construction (Dredging Research Technical Notes)

T. N. McLellan / N. C. Kraus / C. E. Burke / E. C. McNair

This note provides interim guidance for siting and designing fine to medium sand nearshore berms constructed with dredged material. Available empirical observations and preliminary analytical work are summarized. Nearshore berms should be considered as engineered structures with predictable design lives and may require periodic maintenance to ensure functioning. Dredging Research Program (DRP) monitoring and modeling work units will update this guidance as the data base and predictive techniques are improved.
