[SS2-01] Numerical Simulation of Embankment Failure at a Back Slope due to Seepage flows
Keywords:embankment failure, seepage flows
In this study, embankment failure at a back slope due to seepage flows is simulated, coupling a 3D flow model which solves simultaneously overtopping and seepage flows, and a soil deformation model based on GIMP method. The applicability of numerical model is examined through the qualitative comparison with the experimental results and it is shown that the model can simulate the embankment failure at the toe due to seepage flows reasonably.
