👉 Pike engineering, also known as pike design or pike structure engineering, is a specialized field within civil engineering that focuses on the design and construction of pike structures, which are typically used as retaining walls or embankments to support soil and prevent erosion. These structures are characterized by their distinctive, tapering, or pyramidal shape, often resembling a pike or spear. Pike engineering involves detailed calculations to ensure stability, considering factors such as soil type, water pressure, and the weight of the soil being retained. Engineers use advanced software and techniques to model and simulate the behavior of pike structures under various conditions, ensuring they can withstand environmental stresses and maintain integrity over time. The design also takes into account aesthetic considerations, making pike structures not only functional but also visually appealing in landscape architecture.
