Abstract

 On the Shimizu coast, it was not confirmed whether or not northeastward longshore sand transport prevailing along this coast can smoothly reach the north end of the coast, because artificial headlands have been installed on the coast. Therefore, 2.75×104 m3 of sand (d50 = 2 cm) excavated from the riverbed of the Abe River was experimentally nourished between artificial headland Nos. 4 and 5 in January 2022, and subsequent movement of the sand was observed by NMB and UAV surveys four times. It was found that nourishment sand was mainly deposited in a zone shallower than -4 m until May 2022, and the sand deposition zone near headland No. 4 moved northeastward by 200 m by September 2022. The entire volume of deposited sand between headland Nos. 4 and 5 until May 2022 was 3.8×104 m3, and the volume of nourishment sand was 74% of all the nourishment sand. Moreover, the nourishment sand was transported while maintaining the characteristic height of beach changes of 8 m. Even though there exist headlands, sand was gradually transported alongshore while passing through the HLs.
