AN INTRODUCTION TO ONSHORE STRUCTURES’ CONSTRUCTION
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
Numerous shorelines are endangered by erosions which instigate cliffs to retreat, beach materials to be lost, and other coastlines being at risk of flooding. For prevention of oceanfront erosion and flooding, the coastal structures have been constructed within the coastal protection schemes. The coastal structures are also targeted to protect the harbor basins and entrances from waves, in addition to maintaining the navigation networks at bays. To protect the coasts, various techniques, have been implemented over time. This paper appropriately classifies the physical progressions which trigger erosions, as well as providing a synopsis of the numerous forms of coastal structures; including seawalls, bulkheads, groins, breakwaters, jetties, and revetments. The main aim of this paper is to deliver an overall understanding and summary of the various forms as well as the design and construction of various seashore structures.
