Embankment overtopping protection systems
For the last decades, the design floods of numerous embankment reservoirs were re-evaluated, and the revised spillway outflows are typically larger than those used in the original designs. As a result, a number of overtopping protection systems were developed for embankments and earthfill dams, with applications encompassing river dykes, coastal barriers for storm surge and tsunami protections....
متن کاملRobust Estimation of Roughness Parameter in SAR Amplitude Images
The precise knowledge of the statistical properties of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data plays a central role in image processing and understanding. These properties can be used for discriminating types of land uses and to develop specialized filters for speckle noise reduction, among other applications. In this work we assume the distribution G0 A as the universal model for multilook amplitu...
متن کاملComputer Simulation of Levee’s Erosion and Overtopping
The overall intent of this research is to develop numerical models of erosion of levees, dams and embankments, validated by physical models. The physical model tests were performed at 1-g and at high g’s using a geotechnical centrifuge facility. The erosion was modeled in detail, from beginning to end, that is from the time the levee was overtopped until the levee was breached. Typical quantiti...
متن کاملComputer Simulation of Overtopping of Levees
There have been many cases of earth embankment failures, for example, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, where breaching occurred and devastated the surrounding population. Levee failures are preventable by a better understanding of the ways in which these embankments are designed and fail. The objective of this research is to protect levees against future failures. This paper studies various overtoppi...
متن کاملA Simple Roughness Penalty Approach to Regression Spline Estimation
A regression spline is a piecewise polynomial function whose highest order nonzero derivative takes jumps at xed \knots." Usually regression splines are smoothed by deleting nonessential knots, or equivalently setting the jumps at those knots to zero. A method that is simpler to implement and has lower computational cost is to shrink the jumps at all knots towards zero by using a penalty functi...
