Experimental research of pore water pressure fluctuation on the stability of submarine slopes: A case study of the Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier

In this report, an experimental investigation of the influence of currents on submarine slope stability is presented for the Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier case. Slope instabilities, including liquefaction failures, have been observed in the scour hole slopes near this barrier. The currents above the sloping bed are expected to initiate the...
