Study on the Evolution of Artificial Beach in Xiamen

Abstract:

Taking Xiamen Xiangshan-changweijiao beach project as an example, study the technology of beach restoration. Xiangshan-changweijiao beach locates at the SE of Xiamen Island, which has already been eroded out. The restoration project was finished by the first step and the beach showed better performance than history after one year evolution. By analyzing the environment of shore, designing beach factors, technology of beach fill placement, study the beach restoration and evolution of artificial beach, inquiry the theory of beach nourishment in China.
