Schedule 45B (15Jan – 18May)

1 General of Vietnamese Coast

Islands in Ha Long as breakwaters

Dong Chau beach (Thai Binh)

Beach at Tien Giang river mouth (Go Cong)

Sandy beach at Quang Binh

Rocky beach at Hai Van mountain pass

2 The impacts cause the damages

on coastal line

• Natural impacts:

- Winds, typhoons ⇒ bring sand land ward or sea ward

- Tides, salty water ⇒ erosion, rusted steel structures

- Currents ⇒ erosion, creation

- Waves ⇒ erosion, instability of coastal lines, damaging structures which protect bed, bank and shore

- Chemical impacts ⇒ structures are corroded

- Impacts of organisms

Erosion in Nam Dinh coast

Impacts of organisms

on culvert wall (NamDinh)

Wave action (Nam Dinh sea dike – August 2006)

2 The impacts cause the damages on coastal line

• Artificial structures impacts:

- Building dams, reservoirs ⇒ reduce sediment transport to down stream, cause coastal line erosion

Hoa Binh dam

• Artificial structures impacts:

- Exploiting sand, grave, mineral resources ⇒ inadequate sediment supply

2 The impacts cause the damages on coastal line

Exploiting sand in Tan Ba, Dong Nai river

• Artificial structures impacts:

- Deforesting, destroying mangroves ⇒ erosion, unstable coastal line

2 The impacts cause the damages on coastal line

Mangroves, Đầm Nại, Bình Thuận

• Artificial structures impacts:

- Reclamations ⇒ unstable coastal line

- Canal, culvert system ⇒ Coastal erosion

- Navigation ⇒ damage bank protections

2 The impacts cause the damages on coastal line

3 To protect or not to protect ?

Floating houses in MeKong River

Protect what ?

- Protect residential area from flood-tides, storm surge

- Prevent wave actions, erosions, slide of the slope

- Other purposes: Navigation, hydraulic works,

aquaculture, tourism, salt production, national defense

- Prevent salt intrusion*

- Prevent sedimentation at river mouths and obstacle

on draining off flood away*

* don’t mention in this lecture note

4 Coastal protection structures

- Construction: Sea dikes, revetments, groins,

breakwaters, close-dams, sea-walls, artificial dredging and creating, dams, culverts,…

- Non-construction: sand nourishments, mangrove

forests, laws, policies, institutions, organization

methods and managements; propaganda, education, convincing people…

5 Working conditions &

requirement with Coastal structures

• Coastal structures are under the powerful influence of waves, winds, tides, currents, uplift pressures, drifts…

• erosion, accretion

• Height Æ Allow overtopping ỏ Not ?

• Stable

• satisfy other purposes

When and Where ?

6 How to look at protections?

Building codes in eroding coastal line

Hue

Examples of protection

7 How to deal with protections?

Cause and effect

Designed protections

North coast Java

Failure Mechanisms

Fault tree

Load and strength for steel and granular structure

Strength increase or load reduction

Strength as a function of time and maintenance
