Küstenverbauungen
Küstenverbauungen, also known as coastal defenses or shore protection structures, are engineered constructions designed to protect coastlines from erosion and inundation caused by wave action, tides, and storm surges. These structures play a critical role in safeguarding coastal communities, infrastructure, and natural habitats. The primary objective of küstenverbauungen is to dissipate the energy of incoming waves before they reach the shore, thereby reducing their erosive power.
Common types of küstenverbauungen include seawalls, breakwaters, groynes, and revetments. Seawalls are massive vertical or near-vertical
The design and implementation of küstenverbauungen are complex and depend on various factors such as the local
