For increasing the resistance of levee to overflow erosion with attention to fine fraction of levee materials, we examine the resistance of armored and GRS (Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil) levees. Various laboratory tests were conducted to evaluate the resistance of this method to overflow erosion. The results indicated that 1) the resistance of armored and GRS levees have high resistance against overflow erosion with the increase of fine fraction of levee materials mainly due to low permeability and high cohesion of fine sediment and 2) the GRS levee with fine sediment maintained the height of the levee during a longer duration than that with sand.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
