EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT COAST GUARD AND FLOOD PROTECTION FACILITY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the design features, principles of operation and identification of
shortcomings of well-known coastal protection structures designed to protect river banks from
erosion and erosion, as well as from floods and floods, as well as the development of their
earthquake-resistant design. It has been established that the known embankment structures have a
number of disadvantages, and their ability to withstand earthquakes and floods is very low. In order
to increase the efficiency of coast guard facilities and expand their functionality, a new coast guard
complex was developed, different from its predecessors, and its design, operating principle and
protective ability were explained. The proposed coastal protection device consists of bottom
thresholds with a practical profile, a guide wall, a protective guide head, a reinforced concrete
coating, a shock-absorbing intermediate layer, a sand-gravel preparatory layer, a heel and large river
stones laid on the heel part. The device has the ability to work as a coast guard device, embankment
protection and flood protection.
