| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Overflows from huge floods have caused levee breaches in a great number of places, including Japan. To prevent such destruction and thereby increase the resistance of armored levees to overflow erosion, in this study, we presented the performances of Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil (GRS) levees and tsunami wall against overflow erosion under various conditions, such as reinforcement, back slopes, and geo-grid layers. In addition, we investigated the effect of geo-grid layers on the infiltration of levees. The model tests revealed that the GRS levee with partial and full reinforcements had a comparably high resistance against overflow erosion. The infiltration discharge of the GRS levee was lesser than that of the levee with no reinforcement due to the reduction in infiltration erosion in the GRS levee.
