Hydrocarbon extraction is causing a ground subsidence (sinking) at a rate of 2 mm/yr. The sand size is 0.2 mm, the berm height B is 2 m, and the closure depth h, is 6 m. If no nourishment is carried out, what would be the effect of subsidence on the shoreline position? Quantify any shoreline change rate. What would be the annual nourishment requirement per unit beach length to obtain a stable shoreline?

What is deposition of sediments and how this occur and how can this be managed? (Short essay)
The proposed grading at a project site will consist of 25,100 m³ of cut and 23,300 m³ of fill and will be a balanced earthwork job. The cut area has an average moisture content of 8.3%. The fill will be compacted to an average relative compaction of 93% based on a maximum dry unit weight of 18.3 kN/m³ and an optimum moisture content of 12.9% obtained from the modified Proctor test. Compute the volume of water in kiloliters that will be required to bring these soils to the optimum moisture content.
