Piping Failure in Earthen Dams: Modeling Insights by donsogomez is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document presents a numerical model for simulating the breach process of earthen dams due to piping failure, highlighting the unique arch-shaped cross-section of the pipe channel. The model incorporates various factors such as shear stress-based erosion rates and flow discharge calculations for both pressure and free surface flows, demonstrating improved accuracy over existing models like NWS BREACH. Case studies validate the model
