Failure of levees induced by toe uplift: Investigation of post-failure behavior using material point method

Levees are essential structures in flood defense systems, and their failures can lead to devastating consequences on the surrounding territories. One of the failure mechanisms mostly controlled by the foundation soil stratigraphy is the instability of the land side slope, triggered by the developmen...
