Development of a Methodology for Estimating Embankment Damage Due to Flood Overtopping

摘要

The objectives of the study are to conduct laboratory tests and develop a methodology to quantitatively determine embankment damage and assess protective measures. During the study, available literature and field data were collected. The embankments used in this study are 6 ft (1.8 m) high, 10 to 22 ft (3.0 to 6.7 m). The embankment surfaces include both with and without protective measure (pavement, grass, mattresses, Geoweb, soil cement, Enkamat, and others).
