Finite Element Modeling of Seismic Wave Propagation in Earthen Embankments
The detection of internal seepage zones in embankments (dams and levees) by geophysical seismic techniques such as seismic refraction is limited by a number of factors. Some factors are associated with inversion and smoothing problems during processing, while others are associated with the natural …

Levee Breach by Overtopping: The Effects of Soil Properties
… land rivers. Most levees are constructed from earthen materials. Also known as earthen embankments, these levees may fail by overtopping, when flood levels exceed design floods. Past studies have shown that soil properties play an important role in the breach development of an overtopped levee. …

Transient Seepage Analysis for Levees and Dams: Numerical and Monitoring Approaches
… into the transient impacts of flood loadings on earthen embankments was conducted. Two embankments were instrumented and monitored over a period of four years. One of these embankments was a levee located along the Mississippi River just north of Cairo, Illinois. The other embankment was part of …
