When shield tunnels are built in saturated sandy layers, seepage erosion frequently occurs
due to unexpected leakage. Observations from most accidents indicate that erosion does not …

Internal erosion is caused by seepage body forces acting on the soil particles. One of the
most dangerous modes of internal erosion at hydraulic structures is backward erosion …

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, which is one of the leading causes of levee and dam failures, is
more likely to occur when a flow is concentrated on a defect with an overlying low …

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 …

Backward erosion piping (BEP) is an increasingly critical failure mechanism in dike systems,
often triggered by floods resulting from extreme rainfall events, which are exacerbated by the …

A series of centrifuge tests were performed to evaluate the backward erosion piping
behavior that occurred in models with the same soil and same dimensions and to investigate …

When deep underground tunnels are built in water-rich sandy strata, seepage erosion
induced by unexpected leakage frequently occurs and can progress to severe ground …

Backward erosion piping is one of the erosion mechanisms that lead to embankment dam
incidents, whereby foundation granular materials are transported to the downstream toe …

Backward erosion piping (BEP) is a failure mechanism of hydraulic structures like dams and
levees on cohesionless foundations subjected to seepage flows. This article models the time …
