Abstract:

Purpose To provide guidance in developing soil sampling programs for rubblemound coastal structures. Background While there are many different types of coastal structures, a large percentage of these structures are rubblemound i.e. jetties or breakwaters, placed on shallow foundations. The sampling guidelines discussed in this technical note are focused on geotechnical considerations for these structures.
