Use of expert opinion elicitation to quantify the internal erosion process in dams
SYNOPSIS. Expert Opinion Elicitation is a generic term for a number of similar techniques that have been developed to provide quantitative estimates of parameters which cannot readily be quantified through direct measurement or other sampling techniques. The initial motivation for their development was the 1986 Challenger Shuttle disaster in the space industry, and subsequent applications have ...
متن کاملTime-lapse monitoring of internal erosion in earthen dams and levees using ambient seismic noise
Earthen dams and levees are prone to progressive failure through internal erosion of their structure. Internal erosion is often invisible to current methods of inspection until it manifests itself at the exterior surface. This study focuses on the novel use of passive seismic interferometry to monitor temporal changes in earthen embankments caused by internal erosion. This technique uses the am...
متن کاملNumerical computation of seepage erosion below dams (piping)
In delta areas the land is protected from floods and high tides by dikes. In general these are constructed of impervious clays and built on a sandy aquifer as subsoil. Such structures are vulnerable to an erosion effect called piping. The actual word 'piping' refers to the development of shallow channels in the sand below the dike, which begins at the downstream side of the structure. Here ofte...
متن کاملOn the modelling of internal soil erosion
Suffusion is the process whereby fine particles are moved locally an transported through a coarse layer. This is a bulk erosion, which corresponds to a source term in the mass balance equations. This bulk erosion is counter intuitive, as erosion is basicaly an interfacial process. We suggest a framework within suffusion in a clayey sand can be viewed as a clay/water interface erosion at the mic...
متن کاملInternal Erosion and the Exponent 3/4
Let m and n be positive integers. The internal erosion of the interval I = [−m,n] ⊂ Z is the random interval formed by starting a simple random walk at 0 and stopping when the walk hits one of the two endpoints {−m,n}, then removing that endpoint from I to obtain one of the intervals [1−m,n] or [−m,n − 1]. Suppose we iterate this erosion procedure until the origin itself is eroded; how large is...
