Probability of dike failure due to uplifting and piping
A methodology is presented for determining the probability of dikes failing due to uplifting and piping using directional sampling. The study concerns one dike section in the lower river area of The Netherlands. For this dike section, the three most important random quantities are: the North-Sea water level, the river Rhine discharge, and the critical head in the event of uplifting and piping. ...
متن کاملStatistical Evaluation of Historical Dike Failure Mechanism
Statistical evaluation of historical dike failure mechanism The failure mechanism of flood protection dikes includes physical (geotechnical, seepage) processes leading to a dike breach. An awareness of the failure mechanism is required directly in dike stability calculations and indirectly for risk calculations. Statistics of historical data indicate among others the distribution and frequency ...
متن کاملVirtual Dike: multiscale simulation of dike stability
We present a Virtual Dike simulation module developed as a part of a flood Early Warning System (EWS) for the UrbanFlood project. The UrbanFlood EWS is a distributed system that analyzes sensor data received in real-time from flood defenses (dikes, dams, etc.) and simulates dike stability, breaching and flood propagation. The aim of the Virtual Dike module is to develop an advanced multiscale m...
متن کاملFailure Risk and the Cross-Section of Hedge Fund Returns
On average, hedge funds experience slow failures rather than sudden crashes. I model a fund’s probability of failure using a dynamic logit regression and find that fund failures are predicted by even 7-month lagged information. Hedge funds fail slowly as investors withdraw their funds over a period of time because of poor performance. Also, longer share restriction periods and the presence of m...
