Backward erosion piping mechanism in dike foundations with and without landside blanket layers: numerical simulation of size effects

IntroductionThis study investigates the backward erosion piping mechanism and its dependency on model size through both experiments and numerical simulations. The objective is to understand how different model dimensions affect the hydraulic gradients and piping behavior in dike systems.MethodsNumer...
