Abstract

To limit erosion during severe storms, it is considered to apply a hard core in a dune, prior to beach nourishment. One of the potential structural alternatives is a gabion protection. The behavior of gabions was studied. It appeared that the rigidity is a factor that cannot be neglected in model investigations. Full scale tests have been carried out to establish the flexibility in prototype. A model material was developed to reproduce the flexibility on model scale.
