Abstract
Buildings at the beach-dune interface, such as restaurants and (holiday) houses, affect wind-driven sand transport in their surroundings. Hereby they shape the development of the beach-dune system. This can have implications for the flood protection offered by dunes. Therefore, this research aims to understand the effect of buildings at the beach-dune interface on beach-dune morphology. In this contribution we present the results of a field experiment which focused on the effect of building size and geometry on the size and location of the deposition patterns directly around buildings.Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): https://youtu.be/hlcMP7Ev1m0
Highlights
Worldwide, people enjoy recreating at the beach
The experiments showed the various kinds of deposition and erosion patterns that can be found around buildings at the beach (Poppema et al, 2019)
For the size and location of deposition patterns, the results show that the building height and especially width are more important than the length parallel to the wind
Summary
As a result, they have built buildings like restaurants and (holiday) homes at the land-sea interface. They have built buildings like restaurants and (holiday) homes at the land-sea interface These buildings affect the wind-driven sand transport in their surroundings, thereby shaping the development of the beach-dune system. This research aims to understand the effect of buildings at the beach-dune interface on sediment transport and beach-dune morphology. In this contribution we present the results of a field experiment which focused on the effect of building size and geometry on the size and location of the deposition patterns directly around buildings
