Field Studies of Megagravel Transport: Relevance for Coastal Infrastructure Engineering
Abstract: Extreme wave impacts on coastal infrastructure, including bridges, is a growing problem. Highest energy events are difficult to study because direct observations in real time are almost impossible. Also the non‐linear dynamics are difficult to model or to reproduce in scaled experiments. Coastal boulder deposits incorporating megagravel (y axis >4.1 m) provide natural analogues of infrastructure components such as bridge deck slabs; and field measurements of these wave‐transported blocks can address this knowledge gap. In this contribution we present geoscience data relating coastal topography, wave climate, and dislodgement of megagravel up to 620 tonnes. We hope that this will generate new synergies among coastal geocientists and engineers.
