Volume per unit Length of Shoreline required to produce Beach Width Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Volume per unit Length of Shoreline = Beach Width*(Design Berm Elevation+Depth of Closure)
V = W*(B+D_c)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Volume per unit Length of Shoreline - (Measured in Square Meter) - Volume per unit Length of Shoreline is the volume of sediment contained within a cross-sectional area of the beach, per unit length along the shoreline.
Beach Width - (Measured in Meter) - Beach Width is the horizontal distance from the shoreline to a specific point inland which can vary greatly depending on factors such as tide, season, and human intervention.
Design Berm Elevation - (Measured in Meter) - Design Berm Elevation is a level space, shelf, or raised barrier (usually made of compacted soil) separating areas vertically, especially part-way up a long slope.
Depth of Closure - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Closure for a characteristic time interval is the most landward depth seaward of which there is no significant change in bottom elevation.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Beach Width: 30 Meter --> 30 Meter No Conversion Required
Design Berm Elevation: 2.5 Meter --> 2.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Depth of Closure: 6 Meter --> 6 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V = W*(B+D_c) --> 30*(2.5+6)

Evaluating ... ...

V = 255

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

255 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

255 Square Meter <-- Volume per unit Length of Shoreline

Depth of Closure given Volume of Sand per unit Length of Shoreline

Go 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)*(Depth of Closure/Parameter for Fill Sands)^(5/2)*(Parameter for Native Sands-Parameter for Fill Sands)

Design Berm Elevation given Volume per unit Length of Shoreline

Go Design Berm Elevation = ((Volume per unit Length of Shoreline/Beach Width)-Depth of Closure)

Depth of Closure given Volume per unit Length of Shoreline

Go Depth of Closure = ((Volume per unit Length of Shoreline/Beach Width)-Design Berm Elevation)

Volume per unit Length of Shoreline required to produce Beach Width

Go Volume per unit Length of Shoreline = Beach Width*(Design Berm Elevation+Depth of Closure)

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

Volume per unit Length of Shoreline required to produce Beach Width Formula

Volume per unit Length of Shoreline = Beach Width*(Design Berm Elevation+Depth of Closure)
V = W*(B+D_c)

What is Active Volume in the Cross-Shore Profile?

Active volume in the cross-shore profile influences Successive cross-shore surveys of the beach profile to close depth reveal spatial variations in vertical elevation at each location. In the absence of lateral transport, the eroded sections balance the accreted areas, i.e., sediment volume is conserved. The active sediment volume is defined as one-half of the total volume change between two successive surveys.

What is a Berm and purpose of Berm?

A berm is a level space, shelf, or raised barrier (usually made of compacted soil) separating areas vertically, especially part-way up a long slope.
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 Volume per unit Length of Shoreline required to produce Beach Width?

Volume per unit Length of Shoreline required to produce Beach Width calculator uses Volume per unit Length of Shoreline = Beach Width*(Design Berm Elevation+Depth of Closure) to calculate the Volume per unit Length of Shoreline, The Volume per unit Length of Shoreline required to produce Beach Width formula is defined as the case of healthy (sediment-rich), preprojective beach profile and fill material that has a median grain size equal to that of native beach sand. Volume per unit Length of Shoreline is denoted by V symbol.
