Book excerpt: The Corps of Engineers is responsible for 8,500 miles of levees. Levees are subject to overtopping, current and wave attack, surface erosion due to rainfall, through-seepage, underseepage, and slope instability. Conventional methods of levee rehabilitation are both costly and time consuming. Research is underway to develop new methods of levee rehabilitation. This report covers analytical studies on two-dimensional slope stability analysis of geogrid mechanically stabilized slides and slope remediation using a prefabricated geocomposite drainage system. Results of laboratory studies to determine the effectiveness of short randomly distributed polypropylene fibers in reducing crack development (and shallow surface sliding) in clay slopes are given. Guidelines are presented for applying innovative chemical and physical techniques such as geosynthetic systems, mechanically stabilized soil, soil nailing with geotextiles, gravel trenches, and slide suppressor walls to levee rehabilitation.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presented are the proceedings of the REMR Workshop on Levee Rehabilitation. The workshop was conducted to stimulate exchange of ideas and information regarding innovative methods for levee rehabilitation, directions for analytical and laboratory research, and possible field demonstrations of innovative methods. Presentations are made on seismic damage to levees, lime stabilization of levee slides, use of geogrids for levee slope repair, use of rockfill trenches to stabilize levees, use of geotextiles for levee construction on soft soils, and soil nailing for slope repair. A copy of available written lectures is included in these proceedings.

Book excerpt: Earthen levees are extensively used to protect the population and infrastructure from periodic floods and high water due to storm surges. The causes of failure of levees include overtopping, surface erosion, internal erosion, and slope instability. Overtopping may occur during periods of flooding due to insufficient freeboard. The most problematic situation involves the levee being overtopped by both surge and waves when the surge level exceeds the levee crest elevation with accompanying wave overtopping. Overtopping of levees produces fast-flowing, turbulent water velocities on the landward-side slope that can potentially damage the protective grass covering and expose the underlying soil to erosion. If overtopping continues long enough, the erosion may eventually result in loss of levee crest elevation and possibly breaching of the protective structure. Hence, protecting levees from erosion by surge overflow and wave overtopping is necessary to assure a viable and safe levee system. This book presents a cutting-edge approach to understanding overtopping hydraulics under negative free board of earthen levees, and to the study of levee reinforcing methods. Combining soil erosion test, full-scale laboratory overtopping hydraulics test, and numerical modeling for the turbulent overtopping hydraulics. It provides an analysis that integrates the mechanical and hydraulic processes governing levee overtopping occurrences and engineering approaches to reinforce overtopped levees. Topics covered: surge overflow, wave overtopping and their combination, full-scale hydraulic tests, erosion tests, overtopping hydraulics, overtopping discharge, and turbulent analysis. This is an invaluable resource for graduate students and researchers working on levee design, water resource engineering, hydraulic engineering, and coastal engineering, and for professionals in the field of civil and environmental engineering, and natural hazard analysis.
