Depth of Closure given Volume of Sand per unit Length of Shoreline Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Depth of Closure = Parameter for Fill Sands*(Volume per unit Length of Shoreline/((3/5)*(Parameter for Native Sands-Parameter for Fill Sands)))^(2/5)
D_c = A_F*(V/((3/5)*(A_N-A_F)))^(2/5)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Depth of Closure - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Closure for a characteristic time interval is the most landward depth seaward of which there is no significant change in bottom elevation.
Parameter for Fill Sands - Parameter for Fill Sands refer to granular materials, typically sand, used to fill voids or support structures in construction projects.
Volume per unit Length of Shoreline - (Measured in Square Meter) - Volume per unit Length of Shoreline is the volume of sediment contained within a cross-sectional area of the beach, per unit length along the shoreline.
Parameter for Native Sands - Parameter for Native Sands refers to the original geological composition and characteristics of a particular region's soil and substrate.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Parameter for Fill Sands: 0.101 --> No Conversion Required
Volume per unit Length of Shoreline: 255 Square Meter --> 255 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Parameter for Native Sands: 0.115 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_c = A_F*(V/((3/5)*(A_N-A_F)))^(2/5) --> 0.101*(255/((3/5)*(0.115-0.101)))^(2/5)

Evaluating ... ...

D_c = 6.26939641948184

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.26939641948184 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.26939641948184 ≈ 6.269396 Meter <-- Depth of Closure

Depth of Closure given Volume of Sand per unit Length of Shoreline Formula

LaTeX Go

Depth of Closure = Parameter for Fill Sands*(Volume per unit Length of Shoreline/((3/5)*(Parameter for Native Sands-Parameter for Fill Sands)))^(2/5)
D_c = A_F*(V/((3/5)*(A_N-A_F)))^(2/5)

What is a Berm and purpose of Berm?

A berm is a level space, shelf, or raised barrier (usually made of compacted soil) separating areas vertically, especially part-way up a long slope.
Berms prevent off-site sedimentation by diverting runoff to a sediment-trapping device and can also be used to divert clean water from entering a disturbed area. They can also trap sediment by ponding and settling out sheet flow runoff, or by filtering sediment as runoff passes through permeable berms.

What is the Depth of Closure?

The depth of closure for a given or characteristic time interval is the most landward depth seaward of which there is no significant change in bottom elevation and no significant net sediment exchange between the nearshore and the offshore.

How to Calculate Depth of Closure given Volume of Sand per unit Length of Shoreline?
