Deformation Characteristics and Safety Evaluation of the Throw Filling Soft Clay Cofferdam under Super-Historical Flood Conditions by Ping Jiang, Yong Huang, Zhipeng Tao, Junhua Zhu, Ning Wang, Jianwei Qiao

“…The results show that (1) the stability of cofferdam is controlled by downstream face slope of cofferdam during the super-historical flood period, and there is a most dangerous slide surface interpenetrating through the top to the toe of downstream face slope; (2) the stability of upstream face slope is influenced significantly by the water level fluctuation and it is reduced sharply during the water level decline process; and (3) real-time remote monitoring can effectively reflect the deformation and failure characteristics of cofferdam under the condition of super-historical flood level and provide early warning and prediction in time. …”
