CONCLUSIONS
EXAMPLE DESIGN PROBLEM
A low bluff shoreline will be examined (Figure 25). The nine-foot bluff face is steep and there is
no fronting beach except at low tide when gravel-covered shoreline is exposed. At high tide, the water is
just above the toe of the bluff. The bluff soils are sandy-silt and the offshore slope is mild. The
shoreline has steadily receded for years as is evident by the fallen trees along the shore.
The owner purchased the land to construct a retirement home (no structures have yet been built).
