| Title: | The influence of boundary conditions on beach zonation | Authors: | Alonso Bilbao, Ignacio Vilas Martín, Federico |
UNESCO Clasification: | 250618 Sedimentología | Keywords: | Playas | Issue Date: | 1994 | Publisher: | American Society of Civil Engineers (ACE) | Conference: | Proceedings of the International Conference on Coastal Dynamics | Abstract: | A new data set of beach profiles of the foreshore is used to propose a morphodynamical model based on Ihe alongshore variations on the arriving wave energy. Such changes are due to Ihe boundary conditions, and determine tbe existance of different sectors on the beach. Each one of this sectors follow a celtain pattern on the long-term volume change, the foreshore slope variability. the magnitude of the subaerial sand bars, and the presence/absence of beach cusps. Additional infonnalion on wave conditions and direction of sediment transport is obtained to characterize each sector. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/773 | ISBN: | 0784400431 | Source: | Coastal Dynamics '94: Proceedings of an International Conference on the Role of the Large Scale Experiments in Coastal Research Held in Barcelona, Spain, February 21-25,, p. 417-431 |
