Using Geophysics To Evaluate Levee Stability
… along the river \side slope of Mississippi River Levees for over sixty years. Shallow slough slides also occur along smaller levees that protect tributaries of the Mississippi River. This investigation takes place along a section of the Coldwater River Levee, a tributary levee of the Mississippi …

Effetti dell'attività della fauna sulla stabilità degli argini: Valutazione Ecoidraulica dei meccanismi di rottura arginale e tecniche di ripristino
… types of river structures to control the flow. Levees (also known as dikes), for instance, are simply man-made embankments built to keep a river from overflowing its banks. However, river flooding is a natural phenomenon so that it is not rare that rivers overflow their banks and flood the …

MPM Modeling of Internal Collapse Under Levees Caused by Underground Openings
… collapse in earth-retaining structures, such as levees, is essential for ensuring their stability and safety. This study investigates the mechanics of underground trapdoor collapse in frictional and cohesive soils, which is relevant to the behavior of water-retaining structures like levees, e.g., …

Stability of Levees and Floodwalls Supported by Deep-Mixed Shear Walls: Five Case Studies in the New Orleans Area
… using deep-mixing methods (DMM) to improve the stability of levees constructed on soft ground is driven by the need to reduce levee footprints and environmental impacts and to allow for more rapid construction. Suitable methods for analysis and design of these systems are needed to ensure that …
