Included is a section giving the author's views on groin design 

 and construction. Economics and effectiveness of the structure are 

 discussed. Author's views are based on personal observations, and 

 application of his designs to actual shore protection projects, 

 examples of which are cited.

Five experimental steel pile groins were constructed on the Atlantic 

 Coast at Palm Beach, Florida. Steel was donated by five steel com.panies, 

 designs made by the Beach Erosion Board, and construction by the city of 

 Palm Beach. Observations regarding deterioration of steel and protective 

 coatings were made over a period of 10 years, with reports and general 

 conclusions presented regarding useful life of steel sheet piling. 

 Measured and observed data are tabulated.

 a bulkhead to protect against hurricanes.
