Leakage-induced soil erosion poses a major threat to dike failure, particularly during floods.
Timely detection and notification of leakage outlets to dike management are crucial for …

Leaking erosion is one of the most harmful factors causing levee breaches. To ensure the
safety of levees, rapid leakage detection and evaluation is imperative. In current practice …

A distributed temperature optical fiber sensor system with a sub-centimeter spatial resolution
has been incorporated in a sand-box model at the aim of investigating the variations …

This thesis investigates the use of optical remote sensing as proxies for the inspection
indicators of cover quality and soil moisture so as to facilitate the inspection of grass covered …

Due to several triggering causes, eg heterogeneity of the grain size of quarried materials,
inappropriate compaction, discontinuities of displacements, dynamic effects, particles …

The Netherlands and water are inextricably linked, nearly one third of our country lies below
sea level. With our fascinating system of delta works, dikes, pum** stations and polders …

Permeability defects are practically unavoidable in earthen structures due to heterogeneity
of the grain size of quarried materials, inappropriate compaction, discontinuities of …

The previous chapter showed that former experimental studies have led to indispensable
knowledge on key aspects of backward erosion pi** either by analyzing the critical …
