What Causes Sea Wall Failure?

There are a variety of ways that a sea wall in Washington, DC or anywhere else along the coast can fail:

• Soil can be washed away through gaps in or under the wall with every wave and the tidal cycle
• Footers can lose contact with a solid foundation
• Cracks or failing joints in a sea wall can cause erosion behind the wall, compromising the integrity of the structure
   
  

Erosion of the ground behind the wall is the most common cause of leaks. The erosion itself can be caused by improper drainage of land, side runoff, or the ground behind the wall not being sufficiently compacted during initial construction.

The latter can happen when the original builder of the sea wall is concerned about putting any force against it and thus doesn't tamp the earth down enough. As time passes, the ground will begin to settle or will get saturated and mushy. Both of these issues will result in voids and erosion, and in turn, undermine the integrity and effectiveness of the wall.
