In fortification architecture, a terreplein or terre-plein is the top, platform, or horizontal surface of a rampart, on which cannon are placed, protected by a parapet. In Martello towers, the roof or terreplein was sometimes surmounted with one or two cannon mounted on a gun platform with a central pivot, that enabled the guns to traverse up to 360 degrees. In civil engineering works, a terreplein is an embankment of earth with a broad level top, which is sometimes excavated to form a continuation of an elevated canal across a valley.

- Een terreplein (afgeleid van het Italiaanse terra piana: vlakke grond) is het vlakke terrein binnen een bastion, fort of vesting. Op de randen staan borstweringen ter bescherming van de manschappen. Op het terreplein kan zich geschut bevinden. (nl)
- Il terrapieno è un accumulo di terreno realizzato artificialmente per vari scopi. Può essere sistemato in modo da autosostenersi oppure raccolto all'interno di opere di sostegno. Viene utilizzato principalmente per sostenere la base di strade e ferrovie (in questi casi viene spesso chiamato rilevato), per rinforzare muri o argini, per formare dighe di modesta altezza, e per creare terrazzamenti.

- Il terrapieno è un accumulo di terreno realizzato artificialmente per vari scopi. Può essere sistemato in modo da autosostenersi oppure raccolto all'interno di opere di sostegno. Viene utilizzato principalmente per sostenere la base di strade e ferrovie (in questi casi viene spesso chiamato rilevato), per rinforzare muri o argini, per formare dighe di modesta altezza, e per creare terrazzamenti. In passato è stato molto utilizzato nella costruzione di fortificazioni. Usato già dalla protostoria (l'Aggere romano), il suo uso fu incrementato quando comparvero le armi da fuoco; la massa del terrapieno riusciva a contrastare la forza dirompente dei proiettili. (it)
