Laboratory experiments were conducted to assess the influence of dike geometry on the
breaching of non‐cohesive homogeneous fluvial dikes. Both the channel‐side and …

Laboratory experiments were conducted on the breaching of homogeneous non-cohesive
sandy fluvial dikes induced by flow overtop**. Tests were conducted using a main …

A laser profilometry technique was upgraded to detect underwater bed level evolution with a
laser and a single camera for highly transient laboratory experiments. The proposed …

Local scour is considered to be one of the main causes of bridge failure and collapse.
Laboratory experiments are a crucial and important approach for the scour process …

Levees (ie, fluvial dikes) are important hydraulic structures built along rivers and channel
banks to protect surrounding areas from inundations. However, several levee failure events …

Fluvial dike breaches are a recurrent and major worldwide issue. Indeed, many recent
