Stability of a Low-Cost Shore Protection Device
Low-cost shore protection devices provide coastal communities with a worthy alternative to conventional shore protection. An experimental study to investigate the stability of one of these low-cost shore protection devices, the mortar-filled fabric bag, was conducted. Results indicate that the stability of mortar-filled fabric bags is comparable to that of quarrystone for at least one breakwater configuration. More laboratory tests along with monitoring of existing low-cost shore protection projects are necessary to accurately determine design criteria for low-cost alternatives.
