"Generalities on Coastal Processes and 5903GR0003 



Protection" 



Schijf, J. B. , Journal of the Waterways 



and Harbors Division , ASCE, Vol. 85, No. 



WWl, Pt; 1, Mar., 1959, pp. 1-12. 



The engineering basis of coastal protection is discussed with 

 emphasis on the Netherlands seacoast. The paper supports a shift 

 in the old philosophy of protection by groins and seawalls to a new 

 philosophy of protection by sand fill.

Three types of structural designs used in the construction of 

 asphalt groins are presented along with a commentary on construction 

 procedures .

Maryland north from Ocean City to Delaware has had a history of 

 erosion over the past century. In 1954 and 1955 the Maryland State 

 Roads Commission desired to stabilize this shore, and with limited 

 funds available decided to experiment with sand-asphalt construction 

 for a groin system. Construction procedure, the behavior of the beach 

 and groins are discussed; illustrative and photographic coverage in- 

 cluded. Subsequent surveys showed that the groins were repeatedly 

 undermined and settled or were destroyed. Net effect of the entire 

 groin system at the end of 3 years was negligible.
