Experimental Investigation on Failure Modes and Progressive Failure Process of Earthen Check Dam Triggered by Upstream Flow

The progressive failure of earthen check dams triggered by upstream flow is common in loess gullies on the Loess Plateau of China. However, studies on the formation mechanism of progressive failure are still unclear. To investigate the failure modes and progressive failure process of earthen check d...
