Embankments
The embankment is a structure bordering the coastline of the sea and the river. The embankment serves to give the shore the correct shape, strengthen it, protect it from erosion, for convenient passage and travel along the coast (city embankments), for berthing of ships directly to the territory, facilitating the transfer of goods, as well as the transfer of passengers from shore to ship and back (port embankments). Embankments in cities are driveways (streets) located along the banks and bounded on one side by urban buildings or a park. Embankments as structures are usually made in the form of retaining walls, less often in the form of an end-to-end structure.
