Climate Change Is Expected To Result In Sea Level Rise Tide Gauge Data In Guyana For The Period 1951 To 2010 Indicated 1 (49.09 KiB) Viewed 32 times

Climate change is expected to result in sea level rise. Tide gauge data in Guyana for the period 1951 to 2010 indicated a mean relative sea level rise range of 4.7 to 10.2 mm per year, which is at the higher end of global projections. These assessments suggest significant increases in the impact of coastal flooding on human settlement, infrastructure, and shoreline erosion and recession, particularly in areas not protected by seawalls. The still water level (SWL) was measured at +17.200 m GD (Georgetown Datum) back in the year 2000. You are required to design rock armor revetments for 20, 50 and 100 years under the worst case scenario of sea level rise, i.e. 10.2 mm per year. Assume year zero is 2022 for the analysis and account for sea level increase from 2000. Determine the relative change in height and the primary armor units per surface area between the structures. Make the following assumptions: Slope is 1 in 4 (cot 8 = 4) Bottom at +14.2 m GD Equivalent unrefracted deepwater wave height, Ho' = 4 m (historical maximum) Wave period, T = 16 seconds (peak in the September - April months) Quarry stone unit weight, w, = 2600 kg/m³ Quarry stone is rough, angular, and randomly placed Revetment is situated on a flat bottom
