    The document discusses the construction of artificial islands through land reclamation. It notes that population growth is putting pressure on available land space. Artificial islands are constructed by dredging sand from the seafloor and depositing it in the desired area through a process called "rainbowing." The construction process involves installing temporary supports, depositing layers of hydraulic fill, adding permanent protections, and excavating the interior. Artificial islands can increase available land for development but must be carefully planned to avoid damaging coral reefs and marine life.

    VISVESVARAYA TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY BELAGAVI


    RAJARAJESWARI COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
    DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING
    TECHNICAL SEMINAR
    ON

    Under the guidance of: Presented by:


    Prof.BHASKARA. A N RAJATH KUMAR U
    1RR15CV075
    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
