Oceanside Harbor and Beach, California, Design of Structures for Harbor Improvement and Beach Erosion Control; Hydraulic Model Investigation

摘要

A 1:100 scale (undistorted) hydraulic model, reproducing Oceanside Harbor, approximately 5.7 miles of shoreline, and sufficient offshore area to permit generation of the required test waves was used to investigate the arrangement and design of proposed structures for (a) improving navigation and mooring and prevention of shoaling of Oceanside Harbor and (b) prevention of beach erosion. The proposed structures for the harbor consisted of (a) offshore breakwaters, (b) jetty extensions, (c) groin, and (d) interior breakwaters. The proposed structures for mitigation of beach erosion consisted of various groin and offshore breakwater configurations. A 190-ft-long wave generator, crushed coal tracer material, and an automated data acquisition and control system (ADACS) were used during model operation. (Author)
