on the Rate of Littoral Transport : Equip-

 Savage, R. P., U. S. Army Beach Erosion 

 Board Technical Memorandum , No. 114, June, 

 1959, 56 pp. 



Waves were generated to impinge obliquely on a sand beach in an 

 outdoor wave test basin. Longshore movement of sand due to wave 

 action, with and without groins, was measured. Procedures and equip- 

 ment for trapping, measuring and transporting entrapped sand to the 

 updrift end of the beach are described. Test results, such as cumula- 

 tive weight of sand movement relative to test duration, relative 

 weight of sand trapped in different profile zones and physical changes 

 to profile and bottom contours, are graphically presented. Rate of 

 sand movement relative to applied wave energy is compared with values 

 obtained by other investigators. Rates determined from small-scale 

 laboratory data fall below an extrapolated curve derived from data 

 from field tests. No positive conclusions are drawn; further testing 

 is underway.
