International Good Practices of Embankment Upgrading with Limited Footprint Increase

This report investigates how embankments in Bangladesh could be upgraded with no or limited footprint increase. Many Bangladesh embankments need to be upgraded to improve flood protection. Traditionally, embankments are upgraded by adding more soil, heightening the crests while simultaneously widening the embankment maintain slope stability.<br/...

Faridpur Town Protection: Padma River Bangladesh

A study of the behaviour of and the forces in a bed protecting mattress: The falling apron

In many cases the bottom around a structure that is exposed to current has to be protected by a mattress. The purpose of the mattress is to protect the soil besides the structure from erosion and scour, thus preserving the strength of the foundation of the structure. Examples are the bottom protection around bridge piers, along guide bunds and...

Sandwip crossdam

Detailed design and hydraulic and morphological effect of the construction of the Sandwip closure dam in Bangladesh

Feasibility study Sandwhip Crossdam, Stability of clay-filled gunny bags

The behavior of the gunny bags under strong currents has been investigated in a flume on a scale of 1:1 . In the first test series a dam was built up with gunny bags only. The bags in the dam are quite stable up till a velocity of ca 2.60 m/s. With larger velocities the current is removing the bags to such an extend, that the flow cross-section...
