Abstract

The present report presents an analysis of the general problem on the basis of a statistical method that appears to hold some promise of providing a rational basis for organizing the data pertinent to beach fill problems. The general principles, including the statistical description of beach deposits, are presented in the body of this report, and six appendices are included that furnish some of the underlying theory as well as examples of the approach in several natural or hypothetical situations.
