Hydraulic model tests on breaching with and without waves

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...
