Piping in sandy tidal deposits: Design of field experiments on piping through sandy tidal deposits in the Hertogin Hedwigepolder

In the Netherlands dikes are assessed on piping using the model developed by Sellmeijer. This model is calibrated on experiments with permeable, homogeneous, fluvial sand with no fines and covered by an impermeable cohesive layer. In tidal areas, however, the sand deposits are strongly heterogenous, contain fines and are influenced by...
