00:21.409 --> 00:23.809
Good morning . I'm Rusty Permenter . I

00:23.819 --> 00:26.389
am a research hydraulic engineer at the

00:26.399 --> 00:28.621
Army Corps of Engineers . I'll be going

00:28.621 --> 00:30.677
over the beach effects model today .

00:32.400 --> 00:34.344
The purpose of beach effects is to

00:34.344 --> 00:36.178
allow user to calculate the cost

00:36.178 --> 00:38.289
benefit analysis of beach nourishment

00:38.289 --> 00:40.122
through a Monte Carlo life cycle

00:40.122 --> 00:42.599
approach for emergency nourishment

00:42.610 --> 00:44.721
planned nourishment as well as armory

00:45.869 --> 00:47.980
morphology and damages are calculated

00:47.980 --> 00:50.036
for many independent life cycles and

00:50.036 --> 00:52.091
the independent life cycles are then

00:52.091 --> 00:54.479
rolled up into an overall distribution

00:54.490 --> 00:57.319
of damages . The model primarily

00:57.330 --> 00:59.330
calculates benefits due to national

00:59.330 --> 01:01.441
economic development and guidance for

01:01.441 --> 01:03.774
other accounts is currently forthcoming .

01:04.040 --> 01:05.984
Beach effects applies a simplified

01:05.984 --> 01:08.040
cross shore representation where the

01:08.040 --> 01:09.984
dune width , berm , width and dune

01:09.984 --> 01:12.099
height are varied to capture the full

01:12.110 --> 01:14.221
range of potential beach conditions .

01:15.129 --> 01:17.550
While the dune slope , foreshore slope ,

01:17.709 --> 01:19.940
berm elevation and upland elevation are

01:19.949 --> 01:23.540
kept constant . The varied simplified

01:23.550 --> 01:26.069
profiles are combined with a full suite

01:26.080 --> 01:27.802
of storm events that cover the

01:27.802 --> 01:31.580
probability space of a given area and

01:31.589 --> 01:34.169
then run through a cross shore

01:35.230 --> 01:38.089
storm response model . This modeling

01:38.099 --> 01:40.940
work is then applied to assets within a

01:40.949 --> 01:44.790
given reach based on their location

01:44.930 --> 01:47.980
relative to the reach that has been

01:47.989 --> 01:51.300
modeled . So in this case , you can see

01:51.309 --> 01:53.476
the S speech landward boundary point .

01:53.476 --> 01:55.739
So S speech is the model that would be

01:55.750 --> 01:59.589
used to model your offshore morphology

01:59.599 --> 02:03.260
response . The white

02:03.269 --> 02:06.250
squares or diamonds are then projected

02:06.260 --> 02:10.009
onto the dotted line perpendicularly .

02:10.039 --> 02:12.389
And that allows the model to calculate

02:12.399 --> 02:15.589
the damages for a given asset for any

02:15.600 --> 02:17.740
given storm and profile combination .

02:18.649 --> 02:21.789
So over a life cycle , the speech

02:22.139 --> 02:25.589
results allow the , the model to

02:25.600 --> 02:27.322
calculate the evolution of the

02:27.322 --> 02:29.559
shoreline as well as the damages for

02:29.570 --> 02:32.009
every given event within a life cycle .

02:32.020 --> 02:34.500
The beach effects has extensively been

02:34.509 --> 02:36.199
applied to coastal storm risk

02:36.210 --> 02:38.470
management studies including Edisto

02:38.479 --> 02:41.309
Beach , Lagler County , Miami Dade

02:41.320 --> 02:44.729
Pinellas , San Juan Metro , South Point

02:45.029 --> 02:48.970
Pora Walton County Pocket , Cloudy

02:48.979 --> 02:51.146
Beach and then the chief's reports for

02:51.146 --> 02:53.201
all of these can be found at the URL

02:53.201 --> 02:54.923
listed in the powerpoint . The

02:54.923 --> 02:57.500
documentation can be found at the URL

02:57.509 --> 03:00.149
listed in the powerpoint Army Corps .

03:00.160 --> 03:02.160
Users can find the model in the app

03:02.160 --> 03:04.720
portal . Other users can find the model ,

03:04.729 --> 03:06.729
the current model on the website as

03:06.729 --> 03:08.520
well . It's free for all users

03:11.289 --> 03:14.669
dic discovering , developing and

03:14.679 --> 03:16.790
delivering new ways to make the world

03:16.790 --> 03:18.830
safer and better every day .
