Containment dykes land reclamation

Containment dykes are constmcted for land reclamation and artificial islands to prevent the loss of fill by erosion during construction. Typical containment dyke layouts are shown in Fig. 20.24. The containment dyke delineates the extent of the reclamation land area boundary and consists of erosion-resistant materials. The fill inside the containment dyke may be installed by hydraulic means or by dry placement.
