An Overview of Studies on Sustainable Shore Protection Using Chrysopogon Zizanioides (Vettiver)
Coastal protection is an important parameter which is meant for protecting coastal structures from Environmental parameters such as Waves, Currents, Storm surge and Tsunami. For preventing or protecting human beings, infrastructure during extreme events is mandatory for providing adequate coastal protection measurements like Breakwater, Seawall, Sea dikes, Revetments and Geotextiles. But the Coastal protection measures with the help of above said measures like Breakwater and Seawall construction will become more expensive. In order to achieve the Shore protection in a techno economic feasible manner, we will be going for sustainable measure like vegetation. In this paper, Shore protection with the help of vegetation will be described for better understanding of ecofriendly shore protection measure which safeguard the Shore without disturbing the Shore. The Stiffness property of vegetation plays a crucial role in preventing the shore from preventing wave overtopping, erosion on coastal structure. In this paper, Shore protection is carried out by Vettiver plant (Chrysopogon Zizanioides). Laboratory Experiments on Tensile strength test for vetiver grass. Based on experimental results of Tensile strength test, graph done for Tensile strength versus Diameter. In addition to that Slenderness ratio derived from Tensile strength test will be base for check its suitability against wind speed. Field study done for vetiver growth in saline environment and Coastal sand at Thalankuppam, Northeast coast in Chennai and Rameswaram. Vetiver’s resistance against ocean waves were checked with Field studies and Laboratory Study at Thiruvottiyur and Department of Ocean engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. Flow resistance test done for vetiver to check its adequacy against disasters like Tsunami as well as Storm surge.
