A groin is a shore protective structure built (usually perpendicular to the shore) to trap littoral drift or to retard erosion of the shore. Considering all types of shore protective structures used by coastal engineers, the groin is one of the most controversial and most difficult to design. Because the functional and structural guidelines for design are incomplete, many groin installations fail to fulfill their intended purpose. CERC supports a continuing research program devoted to gaining a better understanding of groins. This bibliography evolved from the groin research program. About 460 articles published since 1900 on groins and groin-type structures are presented in this bibliography. Annotations accompany each bibliographic entry where possible. Indexes of authors, titles, and subjects are included to aid the researcher. Unavailable literature such as foreign articles, although not annotated, are included as entries in both the annotated section and the indexes.
