Morris, M. (author)During the IMPACT Project a number of large scale field tests were undertaken in Norway to collect data, including extensive video footage, recording the physical processes that occured during the initiation and growth of breach through the test embankments. The video footage has been carefully analysed and key processes identified, to support...report 2009

Stanczak, G. (author)Sea dikes are of crucial importance in the defence systems of low-lying coastal areas in Germany as well as in other countries such as The Netherlands and Denmark. Breaches of sea dikes due to storm surges are regarded as the main cause of flood disasters, so that a reliable prediction of both breach initiation, breach formation and breach...report 2009

Morris, M. (author)This report provides an overview of the technical work undertaken by the partners under FLOODsite Task 6. The research in Task 6 addresses breach initiation and growth. Research was undertaken to (i) investigate and develop preliminary models for predicting wave induced breach initiation (ii) investigate soil processes, review and refine the HR...report 2009

Morris, M. (author), Hassan, M. (author), Kortenhaus, A. (author), Visser, P. (author)This report provides an overview of the state of the art with regards to embankment breach initiation and formation processes. Basic breach formation processes are explained, including a review of commonly held misconceptions. The different stages of breach initiation and formation are also explained, along with the varying needs of different...report 2009

Hassan, M. (author)The IMPACT Project (www.impact-project.net) provided valuable data on breach formation processes. Five large scale field tests were performed in Norway, and a further 22 laboratory tests were performed in the UK. A review of this data has been undertaken to support breach model testing and development under Task 6.report 2009

Roca Collell, M.; Morris, M. (author)Erosion of surface vegetation of fluvial and coastal embankments is the first step in the breach initiation process for an embankment. Detailed knowledge of the driving forces, factors and erosion mechanisms is required to understand and manage the failure risk. Past and present research on the erosion of surface vegetation has been reviewed and...report 2009

Geisenhainer, P. (author)This report describes small-scaled experiments performed at Leichtweiß-Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources, Technical University Braunschweig (LWI). The experiments have been conducted to investigate the development of dike breaches in homogeneous sand dikes with and without a clay layer. The used scaling factor was 1:10.The...report 2009

Oumeraci, H. (author)Coastal dikes are used as defence structures against flooding in lowland areas and where high tidal ranges occur. The development of a breach induced by wave overtopping has been one of the most frequent causes of dike failure and it is closely related both to the dynamics of a protected coast and to the flood risk assessment and management. At...report 2006
