Erosion behaviour of gap-graded soils due to upward flow: (Paper and Abstract)

Correia dos Santos, R. (author), Caldeira, L. (author), Maranha das Neves, E, (author)

A laboratory study aiming at the evaluation of the suffusion behaviour of coarse gap-graded soils is presented. Six granular gap-graded soils missing the medium-to-coarse sand fraction have been examined. Four soils have no fines, one has 5% of non-plastic fines, and one has 5% of clayey fines (with plasticity index of about 14%). The use of...

Numerical simulation of the groundwater flow leading to sand boil reactivation in the Po River: (Paper and Abstract)

García Martínez, M.F. (author), Marchi, M. (author), Tonni, L. (author), Gottardi, G. (author), Bezuijen, A. (author), Rosso, A. (author)

The reliability of river embankments is essential for flood risk management. The Po River, which flows through the North of Italy, is safeguarded over half of its length by major river embankments. Performance assessment of such water-retaining structures has become a major concern following some significant flood events in the past. Among the...

Evaluation of Dutch backward erosion piping models and a future perspective: (Paper and Abstract)

van Beek, V.M. (author), Hoffmans, G.J.C.M. (author)

The prediction of backward erosion piping is important for safety assessment of dikes in the Netherlands, where subsurface conditions are prone to this erosion mechanism. In the current assessment methodology, the adapted Sellmeijer rule is in use. In combination with the national safety philosophy and uncertainty in input parameters, this model...

Historical information and advanced tools for flood protection and structures management: (Paper and Abstract)

Aielli, S. (author), Pavan, S. (author), Rosso, A. (author), Parodi, S. (author)

The river Po is the main river of Italy, and crosses the entire North Italy from the Western Alps to the Adriatic sea. Its middle-lower course is characterized by an imposing levees’ system, which origins go back to the XVI Century, and which size has been continuously increased until nowadays. As it often occurs, when dealing with earth dykes,...

Online Alarming for Internal Erosion: (Paper and Abstract)

Dornstädter, J. (author), Fabritius, A. (author), Heinemann, B. (author)

Internal erosion is one of the most frequent reasons of failure and deterioration of embankment dams. Internal erosion is controlled by construction properties (e.g. filter and drain design, grain and pore sizes) and hydrodynamic conditions within the dam. While construction properties are usually known, poor information is available on the...
