Abstract
In many coasts of Thailand, serious coastal erosion has occurred and breakwaters for preventing it have been constructed. Especially since many coasts in the gulf of Thailand consist of very fine bed materials, wave dissipation breakwaters made of bamboo piles and detached breakwaters made of geotextile bags which were packed bed materials have been constructed instead of concrete block breakwaters. However, these arrangement plans were based on empirical techniques. This research examines the validity of the effect evaluation method of the coastal erosion prevention using a numerical prediction model. Moreover, the comparison of the bamboo pile breakwater and the geotextile detached breakwater shows that the former can acquire sufficient effect for the erosion prevention with construction costs cheaper a little than the latter.
