Depth of Closure given Volume per unit Length of Shoreline Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
The Depth of Closure = ((Volume per unit Length of Shoreline/Beach Width)-Design Berm Elevation)
Dc = ((V/W)-B)
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
The Depth of Closure - (Measured in Meter) - The Depth of Closure [length] for a given or characteristic time interval is the most landward depth seaward of which there is no significant change in bottom elevation.
Volume per unit Length of Shoreline - (Measured in Square Meter) - Volume per unit Length of Shoreline required to produce a Beach Width W.
Beach Width - (Measured in Meter) - Beach Width For the case of a healthy (sediment-rich), preproject beach profile and a fill material that has a median grain size equal to that of the native beach sand.
Design Berm Elevation - (Measured in Meter) - Design Berm Elevation is a level space, shelf, or raised barrier (usually made of compacted soil) separating areas in a vertical way, especially part-way up a long slope.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Volume per unit Length of Shoreline: 255 Square Meter --> 255 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Beach Width: 30 Meter --> 30 Meter No Conversion Required
Design Berm Elevation: 2.5 Meter --> 2.5 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Dc = ((V/W)-B) --> ((255/30)-2.5)
Evaluating ... ...
Dc = 6
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
6 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
6 Meter <-- The Depth of Closure

8 Seawall Trap Ratio Calculators

Depth of Closure given Volume of Sand per unit Length of Shoreline
Go The Depth of Closure = Parameter for Fill Sands*(Volume per unit Length of Shoreline/((3/5)*(Parameter for Native Sands-Parameter for Fill Sands)))^(2/5)
Volume of Sand per unit length of Shoreline placed before there is any Dry Beach after Equilibrium
Go Volume per unit Length of Shoreline = (3/5)*(The Depth of Closure/Parameter for Fill Sands)^(5/2)*(Parameter for Native Sands-Parameter for Fill Sands)
Volume per unit length of Shoreline required to produce Beach Width
Go Volume per unit Length of Shoreline = Beach Width*(Design Berm Elevation+The Depth of Closure)
Design Berm Elevation given Volume per unit Length of Shoreline
Go Design Berm Elevation = ((Volume per unit Length of Shoreline/Beach Width)-The Depth of Closure)
Depth of Closure given Volume per unit Length of Shoreline
Go The Depth of Closure = ((Volume per unit Length of Shoreline/Beach Width)-Design Berm Elevation)
Active Sediment Volume given Seawall Trap Ratio
Go Active Sediment Volume = Wall Trap Volume/Seawall Trap Ratio
Wall Trap Volume given Seawall Trap Ratio
Go Wall Trap Volume = Seawall Trap Ratio*Active Sediment Volume
Seawall Trap Ratio
Go Seawall Trap Ratio = Wall Trap Volume/Active Sediment Volume

Depth of Closure given Volume per unit Length of Shoreline Formula

The Depth of Closure = ((Volume per unit Length of Shoreline/Beach Width)-Design Berm Elevation)
Dc = ((V/W)-B)

What is the purpose of berm?

Berms prevent off-site sedimentation by diverting runoff to a sediment trapping device and can also be used to divert clean water from entering a disturbed area. They can also trap sediment by ponding and settling out sheet flow runoff, or by filtering sediment as runoff passes through permeable berms.

How to Calculate Depth of Closure given Volume per unit Length of Shoreline?

FAQ

What is Depth of Closure given Volume per unit Length of Shoreline?
The Depth of Closure given Volume per unit Length of Shoreline for a given or characteristic time interval is the most landward depth seaward of which there is no significant change in bottom elevation and no significant net sediment exchange between the nearshore and the offshore and is represented as Dc = ((V/W)-B) or The Depth of Closure = ((Volume per unit Length of Shoreline/Beach Width)-Design Berm Elevation). Volume per unit Length of Shoreline required to produce a Beach Width W, Beach Width For the case of a healthy (sediment-rich), preproject beach profile and a fill material that has a median grain size equal to that of the native beach sand & Design Berm Elevation is a level space, shelf, or raised barrier (usually made of compacted soil) separating areas in a vertical way, especially part-way up a long slope.
How to calculate Depth of Closure given Volume per unit Length of Shoreline?
The Depth of Closure given Volume per unit Length of Shoreline for a given or characteristic time interval is the most landward depth seaward of which there is no significant change in bottom elevation and no significant net sediment exchange between the nearshore and the offshore is calculated using The Depth of Closure = ((Volume per unit Length of Shoreline/Beach Width)-Design Berm Elevation). To calculate Depth of Closure given Volume per unit Length of Shoreline, you need Volume per unit Length of Shoreline (V), Beach Width (W) & Design Berm Elevation (B). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Volume per unit Length of Shoreline, Beach Width & Design Berm Elevation and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
How many ways are there to calculate The Depth of Closure?
In this formula, The Depth of Closure uses Volume per unit Length of Shoreline, Beach Width & Design Berm Elevation. We can use 1 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -
  • The Depth of Closure = Parameter for Fill Sands*(Volume per unit Length of Shoreline/((3/5)*(Parameter for Native Sands-Parameter for Fill Sands)))^(2/5)
