Breach Initiation and Growth: Physical Processes

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...

Modelling Breach Initiation and Growth

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...
