1 Coastal Sediment Properties and Longshore Sediment Transport Julie Rosati Coastal Planning Course Lesson #8 Tuesday 8:00-9:00 am CEM III-1, III-2
2 1. Coastal Sediment Properties (CEM III-1) 2.
3 Coastal Sediment Properties Reference: CEM Part III-1
4 Why Important? Dredging: type of dredge Environmental: transport of fines, contaminated material Beach Fill: longevity, aesthetics Scour Protection: resist movement, dissipate energy, relieve pressure Sediment Transport Studies: tracer Coastal Sediment Properties (CEM III-1)
5 How do we classify sediments? Size: particle diameter -->Mesh size just allowing grain to pass Fall Speed: speed at which sediment falls in fluid --> incorporates sediment density, shape, and fluid characteristics Sedimentation Diameter = diameter of sphere having same density and fall speed Coastal Sediment Properties (CEM III-1)
6 Virginia Beach (foreshore) U.S. Standard Sieve Sizes Percent Finer by Weight D 90 ~2.0 mm D 50 ~0.85 mm Grain Size in mm CEM Fig III-1-1, p.iii-1-6
7 Sediment Size Classifications Table III-1-2 Sediment Particle Sizes ASTM (Unified) Classification 1 U.S. Std. Sieve 2 Size in mm Phi Size Wentworth Classification 3 Boulder Cobble 12 in. (300 mm) 3 in. (75 mm) Boulder Large Cobble Small Cobble Engineer-developed Geologist-developed CEM Table III-1-2, p.iii-1-8
8 Units of Sediment Size U.S. Standard Sieve Millimeters Phi units Φ = -log 2 D D = 2 -Φ Coastal Sediment Properties (CEM III-1)
9 Bulk Properties of Sediments Clays, silts, muds: foundation, dredged material, bluffs Organically-bound sediment (peat): back bays and tidal wetlands very compressible Sand and gravel: ocean beaches calcium carbonate sand oolites (elliptical in shape)
10 Experiment Settling characteristics of various sediments in water Samples A, B, & C Coastal Sediment Properties (CEM III-1)
11 Fall Speed W f = f (D, ρ, ρ s, C D ) (Eq. 1-7) D = grain diameter ρ = density of water ρ s = density of sediment C D = drag coefficient Coastal Sediment Properties (CEM III-1)
12 TEST MATERIAL!! Fall Speed With all other parameters held constant. As grain diameter increases, fall speed increases D, W f Which means that the coarsest sediment will fall the fastest and will tend to remain in the more energetic parts of the profile such as where waves plunge on the beach Coastal Sediment Properties (CEM III-1)
13 Longshore Sediment Transport (LST) Reference: CEM Part III-2
14 What is LST? transport of sediments within the surf zone, directed parallel to the coast Shoreward Observer: Q R = transport to right Q L = transport to left
15 Why is LST Important? Dredging requirements: deposition and shoaling in open-coast channels; placement of dredged material Beach condition: understanding long- and short-term erosion & accretion trends Coastal projects: designing structures & beach fill to mitigate for beach erosion; designing inlet structures to better operate and maintain channels
16 ocean (expressed as a negative value) Q left Definitions Definitions Q right Q net = Q right + Q left Q gross = Q right + Q left
17 Definitions Q left = -100 Q right = 300 Units... thousands cubic yards per year or thousands cubic meters per year Q net = Q right + Q left = = 200 Q gross = Q right + Q left = = 400
18 Importance of Left, Right, and Gross Transport Q gross = 400 Q right = 300 Q left = -100
19 ocean Definitions Estimating Net and Gross Transport Rates 1. Adopt a well-established rate from a nearby site -modify based on local conditions 2. Compute from historical data -shoreline position, bathymetric change, dredging volumes 3. Calculate using wave and beach data 4. Determine from experimental measurements
20 ocean Definitions 1. Adopt a well-established rate from a nearby site (1 of 2) EAST AND GULF: Sandy Hook, NJ Cape May, NJ Ocean City, MD Oregon Inlet, NC Pinellas County, FL (see also Table III-2-1) 380,000 m 3 /yr (net) 900,000 m 3 /yr (gross) 115,000 m 3 /yr (net) 1,600,000 m 3 /yr (gross) 40,000 m 3 /yr (net)
21 ocean Definitions 1. Adopt a well-established rate from a nearby site (2 of 2) (see also Table III-2-1) PACIFIC AND GREAT LAKES: Santa Barbara, CA Oceanside, CA 210,000 m 3 /yr (net) 160,000 m 3 /yr (gross) Columbia River WA/OR 1,500,000 m 3 /yr (gross) Waukegan to Evanston, IL 40,000 m 3 /yr (net)
22 2. Compute from historical data (1 of 5) a. Impoundment by Jetties and Breakwaters b. Rate of Shoreline Change long-term erosion/accretion growth of spits c. Rate of Bathymetric Change deposition basin rate of channel shoaling d. Dredging volumes indicator of gross?
23 (2 of 5) a. Impoundment by Jetties and Breakwaters Q right Q left Volume accreted ~ Q right
24 (3 of 5) b. Rate of Shoreline Change spit channel Volume growth ~ Q right or Q net
25 (4 of 5) c. Rate of Bathymetric Change Weir Jetty Q right Q left Volume accreted ~ Q right
26 (5 of 5) d. Dredging volumes Q right Q left Volume shoaled ~ Q gross
27 3. Calculate using wave and beach data (1 of 5)
28 3. Calculate using wave and beach data (2 of 5) Q = f (H b, α b, ρ s, ρ, n, k) (Eq. 2-7b) H b = breaking wave height α b = breaking wave angle relative to shoreline ρ s = mass density of sediment ρ = mass density of water n = in-place sediment porosity ~ 0.4
29 sec) (3 of 5) Figure III-2-4 Note: K can be calculated based on D 50 I l (N/ K = 1.4 e (-2.5 D 50 ) K rms = 0.92 P ls (N/sec)
30 (4 of 5) Importance of α b (breaking wave angle relative to the shoreline) Waves Q l = 0 Q l increases Q l greatest
31 3. Calculate using wave and beach data (5 of 5) Q = f (H b, W, V l, C f, V/V o, ρ s, ρ, n, k) (Eq. 2-11, 2-7a) W= width of surf zone V l = measured longshore current C f = friction coefficient V/V o = dimensionless longshore current
32 4. Experimental Measurements Sand tracer Instruments (Optical Backscatter Sensors, Pumping samplers) Traps (suspended and bedload) Temporary structure (e.g., groin)
33 Characteristics of LST: Conceptual Yearly Cycle (see Figs III-2-7 and III-2-9) Q net Jan Apr Jul Oct
34 Characteristics of LST: Yearly Variation (see Fig III-2-8) Q net
35 Characteristics of LST: Cross-shore Distribution (see Fig III-2-21) Q 0 Mean Waterline 1.0 Breaker line
36 Sediment Budgets Q sink (e.g., sea level, submarine canyon) Q sink (LST) Q source (LST) ocean beach V (beach erosion/accretion), P (beach fill, dredged placement), R (dredging, mining) Q source (LST) Q sink (LST) Q sink (e.g., wind-blown transport) Q source (e.g., bluffs, river influx)
37 Sediment Budgets ΣQ source - ΣQ sink - V + P - R = Residual For a balanced cell, Residual = 0
38 Q 1_left = 0 Q 1_right = 100 TEST MATERIAL!! ocean V =?, P = 0 R = 0 Q 2_left = 0 Q 2_right = 200 ΣQ source ΣQ sink - V + P -R = (200+0) - (?) = 0 V = -100
39 Q 1_left =? Q 1_right = 20 ocean V = -20, P = 50 R = 0 Q 2_left = 100 Q 2_right = 20 ΣQ source ΣQ sink - V + P -R = (20+Q 1_left ) - (-20) = 0 Q 1_left = 170
