Backward erosion piping (BEP) is a form of internal erosion which can lead to failure of
levees and dams. Most research focused on the critical head difference at which piping …

Backward erosion piping poses a threat to levees and dams. Prediction of this phenomenon
is generally conducted using models that are based on a two-dimensional pipe and flow …

Backward erosion piping (BEP) is a failure mechanism that can affect the safety of water-
retaining structures. It can occur when a local anomaly on the downstream side of an …

Backward erosion piping (BEP) is a type of internal erosion responsible for the failure of
many dams and levees. BEP occurs when small, shallow erosion channels progress …

With the utilization of underground space, backward erosion piping (BEP) has been
observed in many underground structures (eg, shield tunnels) founded on sandy aquifers …

This paper presents an experimental study on the hydraulic failure of a submerged layer of
cemented soil stressed by a localized upward water flow. Different mixtures of glass beads …

For the safety of railroad operations, sand barriers are utilized to mitigate wind-sand disaster
effects. These disasters, characterized by multidirectional wind patterns, result in diverse …

The Dutch regional water authorities face an enormous task: the strengthening of about
1500 km of dikes and 500 civil-engineering structures before 2050. This immense operation …

Backward erosion piping (BEP) poses a threat to the stability of water-retaining structures.
This can lead to severe erosion and collapse of embankments. A novel economically …

With the utilization of underground space, backward erosion piping (BEP) has been
observed in many underground structures. Different from BEP in embankments or river …
