Zusammenfassung |
In recent times, enormous damage has been caused by dyke failures during and
after river flood disasters throughout the world. Besides extreme
meteorological conditions the reasons for these failures are inadequate
design and the actual condition of affected dyke structures.
To minimize the occurrence of dyke failures in future, in a national BMBF
research project (BMBF: German Federal Ministry of Education and Research) an
alternative stabilisation technique has been investigated as an instrument
for short term refurbishment and as an improvement to existing and endangered
dyke structures.
It is intended to improve the stability of dyke structures by the mechanical
installation of drainage devices, thus preventing dyke failure by controlling
the seepage in the structure.
Within the scope of this paper selected results concerning stabilizing
capability and feasibility of the stabilisation technique are presented in
detail. Concerning feasibility the focus is placed on natural scale model
tests to verify numerical calculations and to investigate the suitability of
the adapted installation methods in situ. |
