“…Several parameters are the main focus on the present state of art, including soil composition (Correia et al, 2018;Alzamily & Abed, 2022;Trautwein et al, 2022) and the understanding of the phenomenon of failure due to overtopping (inflow hydrograph). erosion (Saliba, 2009), deformation and seepage (Marques & Unas 2010;Jorge, 2013;Oliveira et al, 2018;Correia et al, 2018;Campos, 2020;Trautwein et al, 2022;Alzamily & Abed, 2022), breach formation and evolution (Pickert et al, 2011;Hanson et al, 2005;Luo et al, 2014;Campos, 2020). Franca (2002) highlighted that two phenomena require attention when choosing the scales in physical modelling: a) the inflow rate overtopping the dam and b) the percolation flow inside the body of the dam.…”
