Sandy beach at Quang Binh

Rocky beach at Hai Van mountain pass

2. The impacts cause the damages 2. The impacts cause the damages on coastal line on coastal line

• Natural impacts:

- Winds, typhoons ⇒ bring sand land ward or sea ward

- Tides, salty water ⇒ erosion, rusted steel structures

- Currents ⇒ erosion, creation

- Waves ⇒ erosion, instability of coastal lines, damaging structures which protect bed, bank and shore

- Chemical impacts ⇒ structures are corroded

- Impacts of organisms

Erosion in Nam Dinh coast Erosion in Nam Dinh coast

Impacts of organisms on culvert wall (NamDinh)

Wave action (Nam Dinh sea dike – August 2006)

2. The impacts cause the damages on coastal line 2. The impacts cause the damages on coastal line

• Artificial structures impacts:

Hoa Binh dam

- Building dams, reservoirs ⇒ reduce sediment transport to down stream, cause coastal line erosion

2. The impacts cause the damages on coastal line 2. The impacts cause the damages on coastal line

• Artificial structures impacts:

Exploiting sand in Tan Ba, Dong Nai river

- Exploiting sand, grave, mineral resources ⇒ inadequate sediment supply

2. The impacts cause the damages on coastal line 2. The impacts cause the damages on coastal line

• Artificial structures impacts:

Mangroves,

Đầm Nại, Bình Thuận

- Deforesting, destroying mangroves ⇒ erosion, unstable coastal line

2. The impacts cause the damages on coastal line 2. The impacts cause the damages on coastal line

• Artificial structures impacts:

- Reclamations ⇒ unstable coastal line - Canal, culvert system ⇒ Coastal erosion - Navigation ⇒ damage bank protections

3. To protect or not to protect ? 3. To protect or not to protect ?

Floating houses in MeKong River

Protect what ? Protect what ?

- Protect residential area from flood-tides, storm surge

- Prevent wave actions, erosions, slide of the slope

- Other purposes: Navigation, hydraulic works, aquaculture, tourism, salt production, national defense.

- Prevent salt intrusion*

* don’t mention in this lecture note

- Prevent sedimentation at river mouths and obstacle on draining off flood away*

4. Coastal protection structures 4. Coastal protection structures

- Construction: Sea dikes, revetments, groins, breakwaters, close-dams, sea-walls, artificial dredging and creating, dams, culverts,…

- Non-construction: sand nourishments, mangrove forests, laws, policies, institutions, organization methods and managements; propaganda, education, convincing people…

5. Working conditions & 5. Working conditions & requirement with Coastal structures requirement with Coastal structures

- Working conditions of coastal structures:

• Coastal structures are under the powerful influence of waves, winds, tides, currents, uplift pressures, drifts…

• erosion, accretion

- Requirement with Coastal structures:

• Height (cid:198) Allow overtopping ỏ Not ?

• Stable

• satisfy other purposes
