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 …

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

The historic canal walls of Amsterdam, stretching 200 km in total, are constructed as a
masonry wall on a timber deck supported by vertical timber piles. Understanding the …

Structural flood protection systems such as levees are an important component in flood risk

Backward erosion piping (BEP) is a type of internal erosion that has caused the failure of
many dams and levees and continues to threaten the safety of existing infrastructure. To …

目的: 粉土, 粉(细) 砂土承压含水层中的盾构隧道出现渗漏时, 土颗粒会在渗流力作用下液化悬浮
并随地下水涌入隧道, 致使隧道外土层在高速水流侵蚀下快速流失, 引起隧道受力模式改变 …

Many flood protection dams in Europe were built more than 100 years ago. These dams
often do not meet current flood protection requirements due to increased level of safety …
