Centrifuge modeling of scale effect on hydraulic gradient of backward erosion piping in uniform aquifer under river levees
The hydraulic gradient that causes backward erosion piping under a river levee is influenced by the scale of the levee, which is a major concern in the physical modeling. In this study, the results of 1 g and centrifuge tests performed on backward erosion piping were analyzed to facilitate a better...
