Abstract: Based on the study of variationsof geomorphology and sediment distribution of the nourished beach from Xiangshan to Changweijao in Xiamen,a project performance is analyzed in thespaper.It shows that the beach planform and profiles changed damatically after being nourished within the first year.The berm and the zero meterline emoded,averagely 20.0m and 8.0m,at the most and the largest one reached 30.0m and 12.8 m,respectively.The beach face gradient steepened from 3.5°to6.4°.The grain size of beach face coarsen from 0.30~0.66mm to 1.46mm.Thereafter,it would present a new balanced planform.Empirical Orthogonal Function is applied to pick up spatial mode and temporal mode to analyze beach profiles measured at Xiangshan-Changweijiao from April 2009 to March 2014.It indicates that the beach profile variation includes 2 modes.The first complex mode contributing to the variance of the data is 77.72 %which represents the step beach interconvert the bar beach.The second complex mode contributing to the wariance of the data is 13.53%which represents the beach cusps erupted at spring high tide.Acconding to the analysis on the net transportation trend of the grain size parameter by Gao,the sediment of the beach transported on the shore is large.Five year after the nourishment,88%of the filling sands were remained at the backshore and the beach geomophologywas similar to the expectation.As awhole,the beach nourishment was rather successful.
