DESIGN ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTIONS.
a.
SHNO,.__-__oF____-__
SECTION
No catastrophic movement in the coral reef structure (t 5 feet horiz
or vert) which will result in disastrous effects (major faulting)
is pre-
dicted for the next 2,000 vears.
b.
The mean sea level will vary from 1 foot lower to 5 feet higher than
existing MSL over the next 2,000 years.
c.
Reef material is not removed or excavated (by nature or man) in the
vicinity of the crater or seaward of the crater for a distance of 1,200 feet.

estimated to be 1 foot.
The combined effect is
The rise in water surface due to atmosphere pressure
drop is estimated to be about 2 feet for a major storm.
b.
3.
Based on the above the design SWL will be 9+1+2=12'.
MNESIGN WAVE.
Based on contf¥élling depth eriteria for waves having periods between
15 and 20 seconds, the design wave height will be:
12 =1.27 = 9.5'
4.
SCOUR.
a.
From the report recently provided by the Navy Command, the ground
surface around the crater has been severely fractured and the beach rock in =
this area is a very thin surface covering over coral, debris and sand.
