 Notes
Abstract: Beach erosion is found along many portions of the coast of the world. The causes of the erosion could be sea level rise, reduction in sediment supply, interruption of the littoral drift by structures. There are several conventional engineering solutions to combat such erosion. Those are (1) coastal structures such as groins, seawalls, breakwaters, and coastal dikes, and (2) non-structural solutions, such as beach nourishments. Among them, seawalls might be the most efficient and direct method to protect the up-land property provided that they are designed adequately. Recently, the adverse effects of seawalls on their fronting and adjacent beaches have gained great attention and raised criticism about the use of seawalls in the coastal area. The most often alleged effects are (1) offshore profile slope steepening, (2) intensified local scour, (3) transport of sand to a substantial distance offshore, (4) adverse down drift erosion and (5) delay post-storm recovery (Dean, 1986). Although numerous examples can be found from articles in newspapers or popular magazines reporting the adverse effects of seawalls, reliable and scientific based document is actually scarce. Moreover, the conclusion derived from the few technical reports on the adverse effects of seawalls remain controversial. Considering the merits of seawall as the reliable structure to protect upland erosion, abandoning of prohibiting seawalls altogether as means of coastal protection without firmly establishing their effects might be irrational. Therefore, there is a need to examine the effects of seawalls carefully and to quantify them if possible. Also, to examine the causes and effects of seawalls might lead to more rational design in the future.
