Centrifuge model tests on levees subjected to flooding

Physical modelling applied to infrastructure development

“…As well as fluctuations that might be interpreted as relatively easy to predict, if not account for, slopes and embankments are often subject to flooding. Saran and Viswanadham (2018) detail centrifuge tests on model levees which are subjected to flood events. Given that the potential for catastrophic failures to occur is well recognised and documented (e.g.…”
