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 (BEP) is a type of internal erosion that significantly contributes to
internal erosion being a leading cause of levee and dam failures, second only to …

Backward erosion piping is a leading cause of levee failures, second only to overtopping,
and is therefore of great concern to engineers involved in flood control. Backward erosion …

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 type of internal erosion that threatens the integrity of
dams and levees. BEP has been shown to be highly sensitive to spatial variations in soil …

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 …

Predicting piping failure is essential for assessing dike and dam safety. To improve the
current description of internal erosion, we sought to evaluate the effects of laminar and …

Backward erosion piping, a soil erosion phenomenon induced by seepage, compromises
the stability of water-retaining structures such as dikes. During floods, the seepage in the …

It is often the case that the increase in hydraulic gradient and seepage in the embankment
causes piping phenomena and thus threatens the safety of geotechnical structures. Many …
