Evaluation and prediction of 17th Street Canal I-wall stability using numerical limit analyses

Numerical limit analyses have been used to evaluate the stability of the 17th Street Canal I-wall levee during Hurricane Katrina. The potential formation of a water-filled gap along the canal-side soil-wall interface at failure is included in both the lower and upper bound formulations. The analy...
