A BASIC STUDY ON BEACH PROFILE CHANGES DUE TO CAPILLARY BARRIER OF REUSED SHELLS

Abstract

 Recently, as production of farmed shellfish such as a scallop is increasing, a large amount of shells are produced as a by-product. Recently, these shells are reused in various fields. As one of them, the shells have been used at final disposal waste sites using the effect of capillary barrier.
 In this paper, the experiments have been carried out over movable bed with constant water level and changing one. The experimental results showed that the shells can reduce the rate of erosion under constant water level and promote the effect of deposition.
