Viewpoint from a protection against erosion project in Vietnam coast

Abstract

Ham Tien-Mui Ne coast 12 km long occupies 1/5 coastline of the Phan Thiet Bay, Binh Thuan Province. This place is considered to be the place with the landscape and development conditions of the tourism industry and is a place that provides many seafood specialties of Phan Thiet city. In the last decades of the twentieth century, this section of the coast was seriously eroded, with the average speed of sea going from 5 to 10 m/year adversely affecting the socio-economic activities in the region. So far, bank protection works have been working here for over 18 years. In early 2018, we conducted a survey, surveying, measuring and analyzing the current state of the structural systems of the embankments. Some results obtained from using the probability design model analyze the safety reliability of the embankment structural system to protect slope and the application of Multiple Criteria Analysis (MCA). The results have evaluated the safety reliability and advantages-disadvantages of each structural system. This paper presents the results of research on an effective summary of new structural applications and the advances of science and technology which has been applied to the project, the lessons gained from the implementation coastal protection projects Ham Tien-Mui Ne. The results are an important reference for current coastal protection research studies in Vietnam.
