Field and physical model investigation of seawall toe scour and associated flow processes /cby Andrew Morris Charles Pearce.
No full textIn the UK one third of seawall failures are attributed to scour, placing the communities living behind these structures at risk of flooding or erosion. Despite this, field evidence of scour remains anecdotal. Our current understanding is adapted from deepwater breakwater studies and small scale seawall model tests which do not adequately represent shallow water sediment processes. Two medium scale model tests have been conducted, providing guidance for only a limited range of conditions. However a link between the key hydraulic processes and the resulting sediment transport has yet to be developed. As part of a larger research project, beach level data was collected from the toe of a vertical seawall in Blackpool over a 3 year period, and over a 1 month period at a 1:2 sloping seawall in Southbourne. These results were combined with model experiments conducted at medium scale using irregular waves on a sand beach. To clarify the toe scour processes and the interaction of breaking waves with vertical seawalls, a hydraulic flow study was conducted at small scale. The research demonstrated a causal relationship between wave breaking and the risk of toe scour at seawalls. Waves impacting at the wall generated high velocity downrush flows, peaking at 0.6 m.s"1 in a 1:40 scale model and producing an intense toe vortex. By combining knowledge of the near wall wave breaker type, flow pattern and sediment response, improved methods to predict and mitigate scour were demonstrated. The deepest scour occurred when the wave conditions and toe water depth were optimal for waves to impact onto the seawall {d, /Lm~ 0.018) and generate high flow velocities. Flows velocities were reduced under spilling and pulsating wave conditions. The duration of exposure to the most critical condition determined the scour risk, though the depth of maximum scour always remained less than incident wave height. Further model tests and field experiment are required to extend this research to a wider range of beach and wave conditions.</p

Father Andrew Mullen 1790-1818: a study in early nineteenth century spirituality
Full text linkThis thesis is laid out in three parts: Part I. The life and death of Andrew Mullen. The life is based, to a large extent, on a long letter to his mother, Catherine Mullen, dated 7 January 1810. The letter gives a definite insight into his spirituality based on his membership of the Archconfraternity of the Blessed Sacrament. There is a hint that he had a premonition of an early death. Part II. The burial of Andrew Mullen and the immediate cult to him This is based on documentary evidence. Part III. Most of this part is a catalogue of testimonies taken from 1993 onwards. Then there is the conclusion on the popular devotion to Andrew Mullen stressing the theological aspect of the subject. In the course of writing the thesis it was decided to separate the documentary evidence from the oral tradition. This was advantageous in developing the thesis, and the documents provided a secure basis for the oral tradition. Two pieces of information were found in March 1997. They are death notices: 2 January 1819, The Leinster Journal and 7 January 1819, The Car low Morning Post. There is a slight discrepancy between the two on the date of his death. Also this discrepancy shows a slight difference from the date of the tombstone
Andrew L Harris Civil War letter
No full textAndrew L. Harris, a Union officer during the Civil War, wrote this letter on March 25, 1863 from Brook's Station, Virginia, the Army of Potomac's winter quarters. Harris reports that the Army is in fine condition and ready for the upcoming spring campaign. Most of the letter laments that the citizens of Ohio are providing aid and comfort to the enemy by opposing the Union government in its efforts in defeating the Southern cause. Harris suggests that the men who are sitting out the war at home should join the Union Army so that the veterans can teach the recruits how to fight. Andrew Harris notes that the world is watching the outcome of the American Civil War to see if democracy or the "Slave Aristocracy" will win out. Harris closes the letter by voicing his disappointment of the former General of the Army of the Potomac, George B. McClellan. Andrew L. Harris was born November 17, 1835, in Butler County, Ohio, and graduated from Miami University in 1860. In April 1861, he enlisted as a private in the 20th Ohio Volunteer Infantry (O.V.I) and was later commissioned as an officer in the 75th O.V.I. He saw active service in eighteen battles. At the battle of McDowell in Virginia he was seriously wounded, and his right arm permanently disabled by gunshot. He was also wounded in the fighting at Gettysburg. At Chancellorsville, he was made colonel and commander. On January 15, 1865, he was mustered out. After the Civil War, Andrew Harris served in various public offices including the Ohio Senate, lieutenant governor under William McKinley and in the McKinley presidential administration. Andrew L. Harris was Ohio's forty-fourth governor from 1906-1909. The 75th OVI (Ohio Volunteer Infantry) was organized at Camp McLean, in Cincinnati and left Ohio for Grafton, Virginia (now West Virginia) on January 28, 1862. The unit saw action at the McDowell, Cross Keys, Cedar Mountain, Freeman's Ford, and Bull Run (all in Virginia) in 1862. In 1863 the 75th sustained heavy casualties at the Battles of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. The 75th OVI moved to Morris Island, South Carolina, in 1863 and Jacksonville, Florida, in 1864. Parts of the 75th OVI were mustered out in October and November 1864 with the balance of the 75th OVI mustered out July 15, 1865

Andrew L. Harris letter dated July 11, 1863
No full textAndrew Harris wrote this letter on July 11, 1863, one week after the Battle of Gettysburg as the Union Army was trailing the retreating Confederate Army from Pennsylvania to Virginia. The letter opens by explaining the movements of the 75th Ohio Volunteer Infantry (O.V.I.) from Emmitsburg, Maryland, to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on July 1, 1863, and the regiment's deployment with the rest of the 11th Corps into battle on the right of the First Corps. Harris notes that on the night of July 1st only 464 men out of 1200 men engaged in battle from the brigade answered roll call, with the rest killed, wounded or captured. Several of the dead from Preble County, Ohio, are listed by name. Harris describes being shelled by Confederate artillery for most of the 2nd of July and an infantry attack at night that ended with hand-to-hand fighting. The regiment spent the 3rd of July under constant shelling waiting for another Rebel attack that never came. On the 4th of July, the Second Brigade of the 11th Corps was ordered to advance into the town of Gettysburg. Andrew Harris described that this event "was the proudest moment... that ever passed over our heads- so long use to defeat We felt sure of victory for once." Harris apologizes for his poor penmanship due to a wound received earlier in the war. He then describes being wounded again at Gettysburg on July 2nd by a sharpshooter's ball that resulted in a minor wound. He closes the letter by listing the names of several soldiers that were captured and a request to have the letter published in the Eaton Register (Eaton, Ohio). Andrew L. Harris was born November 17, 1835, in Butler County, Ohio, and graduated from Miami University in 1860. In April 1861, he enlisted as a private in the 20th O.V.I. and was later commissioned as an officer in the 75th O.V.I. He saw active service in eighteen battles.

Andrew L. Harris Civil War letter regarding Battle of Chancellorsville
No full textAndrew L. Harris wrote this letter to "friend Lough" on June 7th 1863 from Brooke's Station Virginia, the Army of Potomac's encampment after the Battle of Chancellorsville. The letter was written in response to a request for an explanation of the part that the 75th Ohio Volunteer Infantry (O.V.I.) played in the Battle of Chancellorsville. The 75th OVI was part of the 11th Corps that was blamed for the crushing defeat of the Union Army by "Stonewall" Jackson's famous flanking maneuver. Harris places the blame for the defeat on the Union Generals who in Harris's judgment were either incompetent for not knowing what the Rebel army was planning or indifferent for not trying to defeat the plan. Harris goes on to explain how the 75th changed front and deployed for battle "with as much coolness as though on parade." The fatal wounding of the regiment's Colonel Robert Riley is described in detail. Harris notes that the regiment lost one fourth of their force engaged in less than fifteen minutes of battle. Harris was born November 17, 1835, in Butler County, Ohio, and graduated from Miami University in 1860. In April 1861, he enlisted as a private in the 20th O.V.I. and was later commissioned as an officer in the 75th O.V.I. He saw active service in eighteen battles.
