Effectiveness of Seadikes with Rough Slopes
Publication: Coastal Engineering 1978
Abstract
The length of the coastline of Japan is very long, and it exceedes 31000 kilometers. In which, about 19000 kilometers are remained as natural coast, but 8000 kilometers are protected by the seadikes(inclusive of seawalls).
Before 1965, there were about 5900 kilometers of seadikes. Then, we have constructed more than 2100 kilometers of seadikes during the past ten years.
In Japan, sea and shore are all under the control of the Government, and 8000 kilometers of coastal structures have been constructed or improved as the Public Works. Before 1945, however, most of seadikes, though their length were not so long in that age, were constructed as reclamation works by private, and after the War, these private reclamation seadikes were changed to the government management and have been improved as the public works. These former seadikes were almost for the storm surge.
