Seawall design on the open coast is an often overlooked problem in
the State of Florida as well as other areas of the South Atlantic and Gulf
Coasts. Escoffier [1] mentions numerous seawall failures and improper
design considerations along the Mississippi Gulf Coast which were exposed
by hurricanes after the seawalls were built. It is hoped that this bulletin, along with Reference 3, will provide a
good starting place for those involved in technical design and construction
supervision aspects of seawalls
