A new solution using ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) sheet piles was a hard wall structure combined with gabion groyne dams for the purpose of shore protection, sand accretion, and tourist beach creation was proposed in this study. The proposed approach was then applied to meet the both shore protection and sandy beach generation requirements of private Rung Duong resort project in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Vietnam. The UHPC sheet piles reinforced by fiber reinforcement polymer (FRP) installed in form of a vertical wall were designed and constructed for the shore protection purpose. Together with the later built gabion groyne dam system, the combined structure brought a very good coastal protection effect. As a result observed from Rung Duong resort, the shoreline was pushed back out very far from the resort, while sandy beaches in front of the resort were formed and expanded widely.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
