Verhagen, H.J. Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Hydraulic Engineering Date 1999-11-10 Abstract In order to develop a new philosophy of flood safety in terms of probability of a certain level, two mathematical models of breach growth in sandy dikes have become available to determine the flood discharge in case of dike failure. BREACHES 1.0, developed at Alkyon/Delft Hydraulics (Steetzel) and BRES 1.0 at Delft University of Technology (Visser) are different in principle. The comparison of these two models with the previous dam breach models was carried out. The validation of the two models using Dutch field sandy-dyke experimental data was conducted, the non-homogeneous fuse plug dam tests in China were also used as validation data. A suggestion to improve the capability of BRES model has been done.
