Simulation of Levee Erosion
In this report, I talk about my work on fluid simulation and erosion simulation. First some background knowledge about both fluid and hydraulic erosion simulation is discussed and then some technical details about a levee erosion simulator is presented. Some implementation results of the system are also presented and discussed. Finally, I will also discuss the difficulties I faced when doing th...
متن کاملZoar Levee Interim Risk Management
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers elevated Zoar Levee and Diversion Dam to a Dam Safety Action Class I (urgent and compelling) ranking due to seepage concerns. An accelerated program is in progress to address project deficiencies which include seepage through the levee’s glacial outwash foundation, through a fractured rock knoll beneath the levee, and through the dam’s fractured rock abutments a...
متن کاملLevee Evaluation Using Masw: Preliminary Findings from the Citrus Lakefront Levee, New Orleans, Louisiana
The utility of the multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW) seismic method for noninvasive assessment of earthen levees was evaluated for a section of the Citrus Lakefront Levee, New Orleans, Louisiana. This test was conducted after the New Orleans’ area levee system had been stressed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The MASW data were acquired in a seismically noisy, urban environment using...
متن کاملUp or Out?—Economic-Engineering Theory of Flood Levee Height and Setback
Levee setback location and height are important issues in flood levee system design and modification. This paper derives an economic-engineering theory of the optimal trade-off of levee setback for height both for original and redesigned flood levees, demonstrating the interconnection of levee setback, height, costs and risks, and economically optimal design. These analyses assume stationary fl...
متن کاملLevee Soil Moisture Assessment Based On a Backpropagation Neural Network Using Synthetic Aperture Radar Data
a methodology of soil moisture assessment around a levee based on a backpropagation neural network and using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data is developed. Soil moisture changes along a levee over a period of time can help to monitor and find potential failure indicators such as slides and sand boils around the levee. Several analytical and empirical models have shown relationships between S...
