Failure modes for revetments and dunes

The present report describes the research done within the framework of Activity 1.2 of Task 4 of the European Union FLOODsite project. It contains an inventory of the failure modes, predictive equations and related uncertainties for revetments and dunes, based work already undertaken in The Netherlands, including limit state equations and uncertainties. The methodology that is followed is based on the FLOODsite risk-source-pathway-receptor approach. Besides the inventory of limit state equations, this document also highlights 'indicator' processes for each defence type to facilitate the rapid identification of critical areas. This document provides a source of information upon which risk management tools and analyses may be based. The document may be updated and extended in the future as knowledge of structure performance increases.Floodsit
