Meshless Modeling of Flow Dispersion and Progressive Piping in Poroelastic Levees

Performance data on earth dams and levees continue to indicate that piping is one of the major causes of failure. Current criteria for prevention of piping in earth dams and levees have remained largely empirical. This paper aims at developing a mechanistic understanding of the conditions necessary...
