Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The relationships among the body-foundation ground properties in river levee, river water level, sand boiling dynamics, piping growth rate, and pore water pressure were investigated by model experiment and three-dimensional seepage analysis. The key parameters for occurrence and consequence conditions of piping was pointed out to be the distance between the slope toe and its dead-end, the inlet condition and the multiple layer in permeable base layer, the unevenness of inside-land, the sizes and locations of sand boiling holes where sand particles were erupted due to the velocity and pressure of the localized flow. The decrease in water velocity also was an important efficiency in traditional methods in leakage control works.
