Abstract
An artificial beach, the purpose of which is the prevention of wave didasters and the encouragement of seashore utilization, is being planned in the Takasa-Mobara area in Fukui Prefecture. When planning an artificial beach, an important issue to consider is the management of the nourishment sand which is strewn over the beach after it is built. The nourishment sand must be reviewed in terms of its grain-diameter during the designing stages of the beach so that it does not flow out into the sea under the conditions posed by the facility structure or the waves. This research sought the grain-diameter of the nourishment sand which is stable on the actual area of the sea by taking into consideration the results of a hydraulic model experiment using a plane water tank, and the value obtained from Horikawa's and Sunamura's beach section classification formula. Also, it reviewed the calmness in the artificial beach, wave height in the surrounding sea area, and the influence of the current velocity before and after the facility was serviced.
