ABSTRACT Hung, N.T.; Vinh, B.T.; Nam, S.Y., and Lee, J.L., 2017. Cause analysis of erosion-induced resort washout on Cua Dai Beach, Vietnam. In: Lee, J.L.; Griffiths, T.; Lotan, A.; Suh, K.-S., and Lee, J. (eds.), The 2nd International Water Safety Symposium. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 79, pp. 214–218.

Cua Dai shore, which is located immediately north of Thu Bon river mouth in central Vietnam, has eroded on the order of hundreds of meters in beach width. The present study estimated the erosion rate of sediment volume into the estuary through the Thu Bon river mouth by using recent satellite images, and utilized a shoreline change model to reproduce the erosion of shoreline near the river mouth. Results are in good agreement with observed data. The numerical model is modified by including the equilibrium angles that were obtained from a static shoreline ...
