Overtopping on Grass Covered Dikes: Resistance and Failure of the Inner Slopes

The research mainly explores four issues concerning a) damage pattern of grass dike slopes in Vietnam, b) how to quantify overtopping flows, c) how roots strengthen soil within a grass cover and d) classify and model damage to slopes due to overtopping. The dataset contains results from the overtopping tests with the simulator in Vietnam and the result of grass root tests
