Under the guidance of: Presented by:

Prof.BHASKARA. A N RAJATH KUMAR U

We will be discussing:

Problem of the population and land space

Construction of the artificial island on the ocean

Advantages & Disadvantages of artificial island

PROBLEM OF THE POPULATION & THE
LAND SPACE

The population problem is

the biggest problem in the
world today .
Pressure on the region’s are
agricultural lands become
leading to extensive
degradation due to the
poverty of land shortage .
THE EARTH PLANET

Percentage of crustal, About

70% water 30% land
From 30% land also there are
some barren spaces. Like
mires.
People motivate to get
benefits from the water areas.
SELECTION OF THE SEAAREA

To get more benefits from

this project we must pay
the attention for the sea
space which having no
coral prosperity
skerry
seaweed
sea vitals
ocean trade routes
CONSTRUCTION OF THE ISLAND
This islands are
constructed technically
artificial peninsulas of
sand dredged from the
bottom of the sea.

The sand is sprayed by the

dredging ships, which are
guided by GPS, onto the
required area in a process
known as rain bowing.
UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION & SEA
BED DREDGING

Mean sea level

Sand surcharge

Clay lumps

Inter-lump voids
Filled water

Seabed
Place the material in the
form of lumps, directly
at the reclamation site

Sand siphoned up
from the ocean floor,
being deposited in one
of the hoppers of the
Dredge Island
CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURE

Temporary tube piles driven into

sea bed
Temporary sheet piles and tie
rods driven into sea bed to
support boundary rocks (see
figure 1)
Permanent boundary rock is
constructed like bunds & it
deposited either side of sheet
piles
Hydraulic fill layers deposited
between bunds to displace sea
water and form island (see figure
2 with fill layers partially
complete)
 Permanent concrete units are
placed around island to protect it
from the waves
2m diameter 43m deep piles
driven through island into the
below of the sea bed to stabilize
structure (see figure 3)
Island interior excavated and
temporary sheet piles or coffer
dam inserted
2m thick concrete plug slab laid at
base of island
Reinforced concrete retaining
wall built
Basement floors created (see
figure 4)
 FINALIZED RECLAMATION ISLAND

This island include

Homes
Hotels
Offices
Agricultural lands
ADVANTAGES OF RECLAMATION

Land reclamation will definitely increase

land area for a certain country
More lands, more buildings and better
infrastructure can be built
Can reclaimed lot of lands from flooding
DISADVANTAGE OF RECLAMATION

Land reclamation can be damaging to corals and

marine life due to wrong selection of poor
knowledge of the subject
