ABSTRACT:
A retaining wall disposed along the embankment of a body of water to protect the embankment from erosion due to movement of the body of water. The retaining wall comprises a plurality of pilings disposed adjacent to one another along the contour of the embankment. A porous material is disposed adjacent to the landward side of the pilings for covering the natural orifices which exist between each pair of pilings. The porous material precludes sand and soil constituting the embankment from being washed out through the natural orifices. The deck of the retaining wall comprises a plurality of deck members which are connected in a spaced apart relationship to the upper portions of the pilings and extend substantially perpendicular therefrom to the embankment. The foregoing abstract is merely a resume of one general application, is not a complete discussion of all principles of operation or applications and is not to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the claimed subject matter.
