Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to marine-land barriers, more specifically but not by way of limitation, a seawall that is configured to be constructed employing a plurality of elements and techniques that facilitates a secure and cost effective installation wherein the present invention further utilizes materials such as but not limited to ultra-high performance concrete and fiber reinforced polymers.

BACKGROUND

Seawalls are a structure that is installed as a form of defense constructed in coastal areas where the sea directly impacts the landforms. There are several different types of seawalls that are commonly constructed and they are chosen based on the reflection of forces to which they will be subjected as well as the cost associated for each type. Depending on the type of seawall construction inevitably there will be problems and failures based upon the conditions to which they are subjected, construction techniques and components thereof. One issue is anchor rod deterioration wherein prolonged exposure to saltwater and other elements can cause anchor rod failure, which leads to seawall misalignment and outward movement.

Another issue with conventional seawall construction is the issue with seawall cap failure. Exposure to saltwater and other elements can cause the steel utilized for reinforcing the concrete seawall cap to corrode, which causes expansion. This results in the development of cracks, which eventually leads to the breaking off of large pieces of the seawall cap. The loss of concrete and exposure of the corroding reinforcing steel weakens the seawall cap significantly leads to further seawall misalignment and other structural issues. In addition to the aforementioned issues, there are disadvantages to conventional seawall construction that result in a more costly and timely installation.

Accordingly, there is a need for a seawall and construction thereof that facilitates a cost effective installation thereof and further provides improved construction techniques so as to provide a superior seawall.
