“…From these parameters, D 10 and D 90 were chosen because the study area consisted generally of mixed sediment beaches, which were bimodal, and the use of standard parameters such as the mean, sorting, skewness, and kurtosis can produce results that have no physical meaning; e.g., if two modes are present, the average may fall into the gap between modalities and, therefore, represent a fraction of size with little or no sediment (Horn and Walton, 2007).…”

“…These beaches have behaviours substantially different from the gravel beaches, but there is no clear definition of what proportion of sand is required for a beach to be considered a mixed beach because fractions between 15 and 68% have been found (Mason and Coates, 2001). Quick and Dyksterhuis (1994) suggested that gravel cannot protect a beach against the attack of waves above a critical value, so they can lose their protective function over time (Horn and Walton, 2007). Therefore, if we can classify the different types of gravel beaches, we can understand their performance against wave actions.…”

“…It has also been reported on the varying size of sediments along the coast. The usual assumption is that the sediment size decreases in the transport direction due to selective transport, with the finest particles distancing the coarser particles [8].…”

“…Bu bağlamda yüzey sedimanlarının konumsal dağılımı, düşey yönde tane boyunun değişimi hidrolik açısından çakıllı plajlar için önemlidir (Buscombe ve Masselink, 2006). Bir diğer husus karışık plajlarda erozyon ve taşkınlara karşı koruma görevi görürler (Horn ve Walton, 2007). Horn ve Walton (2007), plajlarda yapılan yenileme çalışmalarında kullanılan malzemenin normalde olandan daha fazla ince sediman içerdiğini ve bunun tane boyu dağılımını, boylanmayı ve hidrolik iletkenliği önemli ölçüde bozduğunu vurgulamıştır.…”

“…Son yıllarda modern plaj yüzeylerinde gerçekleştirilen çalışmalarda, güncel kıyı çizgisine paralel ve dik olacak şekilde çakıl boyutundaki malzemenin taşınımına (Bartholoma vd., 1998;Muzuka ve Shaghude, 2000;Ivamy ve Kench, 2006;Horn ve Walton, 2007;Osborne, 2005;Dickson vd., 2011) çoğu kez dikkat çekilmiştir. Bunlara ek olarak Jennings ve Schulmeister (2002) tarafından oluşturulan ve literatürde sıkça kullanılan bir plaj sınıflaması da mevcuttur.…”
