Abstract: The utility model relates to a protection embankment which can withstand the attack of tsunami effectively. The side of the protection embankment facing the ocean is a curved surface. The cross section shows that the protection embankment is a curved line ladder shape with a narrow upper bottom, a wide lower bottom and a curved line at the side facing the ocean; the curved line shape likes a transverse and upwards concave parabola, which is the parabola-shaped curved surface of the protection embankment facing the ocean. As the counterforce of the curved surface of the protection embankment changes the motion direction of the ocean wave gradually, the ocean wave rushing at the bank fast rushes at the sky vertically along the shape of the curved surface and then falls down to the ocean, which prevents the ocean wave from getting across the protection embankment and causing the great disaster that the seawater destroys the building and floods the land. According to the proper landform or coast shape, the protection embankment is constructed at the harbor entrance, thereby reducing the rushing force of the tsunami attack and protecting the ships berthed at the harbor from being attacked by the tsunami.
