Abstract: Abstract Seepage beneath artificial levees is a common concern during flooding events. Risk of levee failure is elevated when piping erodes channels beneath the levee, evidenced by the formation of sand boils where transported sediments… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.enggeo.2021.106316
Abstract: Abstract Specific features of levees, particularly their large lengths, cause significant problems in the early and precise detection of leaks as well as erosion zones in both the levee body and subsoil. These processes are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1144/qjegh2021-037
Abstract: This case study presents a levee breach induced by piping erosion under cyclonic conditions in 2019. The levee is a 2.5 m-high, 500 m-long, mass earth-fill embankment; with no cutoff trench, core or ancillary structures. Located near… read more here.
