Abstract

Description

A preliminary design of a beach restoration project was performed to widen the beach within a groin field in the City of Galveston, Texas. The proposed project would place 715,000 cubic yards along 3.7 miles of beach from 10th Street to 61st Street. The beach in this area will initially be constructed on average of 220 feet wide, but will adjust within the first year to 150 feet wide at the center of the groin compartments as sand is moved offshore by wave action.
