Concrete Block Revetment Near Benedict, Maryland 

 by Jay V. Hall, Jr. and R. A. Jachowski 



A paper describing shore protective works on a bay beach.

 protecting relatively short shore frontages. Interlocking concrete 

 block revetments appear to offer promise as economic solution to 

 such problems. 



MP 2-64 - Apri I 1964 



Calculation Procedure for Sand Transport by Wind on Natural Beaches 

 by Abdel-Latif Kadib 



Available methods for calculating the actual rate of sand trans- 

 port by wind are summarized. Specific procedures are presented for 

 determining the annual rate of deflation from the beach inland at 

 Salmon Beach, California.

Summary of Capabilities . Compiled by A. C. Rayner 



The history, mission, and organization of the U. S. Army Coastal 

 Engineering Research Center (successor to the former Beach Erosion 

 Board) are briefly described. The laboratory and its physical 

 facilities, such as wave tanks and generators are described and 

 pictured.

Land Against the Sea . Edited by A. C. Rayner 



The origin and nature of our shores, the forces to which they 

 are exposed, and their behavior under exposure to those forces, are 

 described in non-techn ica I language. Manmade developments and methods 

 of protection of the shore are discussed. The roles of Federal, State 

 and local governments in providing for sound development, protection 

 and improvement of the shore are explained. The need for long-range 

 planning for preservation of our coastal resources is emphasized.
