Abstract

Appropriately designed, constructed, and maintained rubble mound seawalls are an efficient and cost-effective means of protecting erodible sections of exposed coastline. This conclusion is supported by more than 25 years of satisfactory seawall performance along the Pacific Ocean coast of Santa Cruz County, California, U.S.A. Important factors in satisfactory seawall performance include a clear understanding of the oceanographic and geologic design parameters, a vigorous inspection program during construction, and continued observation and maintenance of the structures.
