A Nourishment Performance Index for Beach Erosion/Accretion at Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi

A Nourishment Performance Index for Beach Erosion/Accretion at Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi

The present paper proposes a methodology to optimise the design of a beach protection intervention at Saadiyat Island, of the Abu Dhabi city in the United Arab Emirates. In particular, a nourishment performance index (NPI) has been introduced to select among different design alternatives of a coasta...
