This paper presents the results of an experimental and numerical investigation on the
collapse of dykes involving soft soils. Nine centrifuge tests were carried out to investigate the …

Embankment and dyke stability in the Netherlands has always been evaluated by effective
stress analysis. The subsoil of most of these structures is organic, weak and soft, but the …

The objective of the paper is to examine the use of a geosynthetic layer as an internal drain
in a levee subjected to flooding through centrifuge model tests. Three levee sections, having …

Real‐time monitoring of civil infrastructure provides valuable information to assess the
health and condition of the associated systems. This paper presents the recently developed …

The paper analyses the experimental slope failure of a full-scale earthen dyke (levee) in
Booneschans (Groningen, the Netherlands). The goals of the experiment were to develop …

Computer measuring systems based on a net a of sensors, which register selected physical
parameters, could be employed to support the flood hazard management. Such systems …

The article presents the possibilities of ISMOP–IT System of Levee Monitoring. This system
is able to collecting data from the reference and experimental control and measurement …

Background Despite the role played by joints in the failures occurring in drinking water
networks, scientific literature has focused on barrel failure. Therefore, it can be assumed that …

Real-time monitoring of civil infrastructure provides valuable information to assess the health
and condition of the associated systems. This paper presents a recently developed in-place …

The direct simple shear (DSS) test is routinely used in testing peaty soils. In the Geonor DSS
device the sample is usually enclosed by a wire reinforced membrane or by stacked rings …
