Mechanical Bypassing of Littoral Drift at Inlets
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 128, Issue 4
Abstract
A brief examination of the general processes of littoral drift movement at uncontrolled and controlled coastal inlets is presented. The principal factors are noted that should be evaluated when mechanical bypassing of drift past an inlet is considered. The general techniques of bypassing are examined, and the types of plants used in the operation are described. A summary is given of all completed and active bypassing projects in the United States.
