Popis: Source: https://erdc-library.erdc.dren.mil/jspui/ Under the Periodic Inspections Work Unit of the Monitoring Completed Coastal Projects Prograrn, base level condi- tions have been established for the above-water arrnor stone on the Bums Harbor North Breakwater. Tue positions of arrnor stone over the 1,414-m ( 4,640-ft) length of the breakwater have been defined through lirnited ground surveys, aerial photography, and photograrnrnetric analysis. Contour maps of the breakwater as weil as cross sections of the structure have been developed. In addition, a database of broken arrnor stones has been established. Tue site will be revisited periodically in the future and the long-term structural response of the breakwater to its environrnent will be tracked. Tue periodic data sets will be used to improve knowledge in design, construction, and maintenance of the ex- isting structure as weil as proposed future coastal projects.
