River-damming by landslides is a widespread phenomenon around the world. Recent
advances in remote sensing technology and the rising commercial availability of their …

Accurate prediction of the evolution of a landslide dam that is breached due to overtopping
failure is necessary to estimate the outflow hydrograph and the resulting inundation. In this …

Hydraulic engineering of dams and their appurtenant structures counts among the essential
tasks to successfully design safe water-retaining reservoirs for hydroelectric power …

This paper presents a two‐dimensional shallow water equations code coupled with a
physically based erosion model, able to predict the opening and evolution of breaches …

Laboratory experiments were conducted to assess the influence of dike geometry on the
breaching of non‐cohesive homogeneous fluvial dikes. Both the channel‐side and …

Overtopping flows in landslide dams erode and entrain materials on the dam surface
resulting in erosional features that undermine the dam stability and facilitate the subsequent …

Water resource management and flood forecasting are crucial societal and financial stakes
requiring reliable predictions of flow parameters (depth, velocity), the accuracy of which is …

Natural dam failure may cause disastrous floods in the downstream, especially for dam
outbursts in progressive failure mode. Until now researches about the characteristics of …

Flooding water in extreme hydrometeorological events may be significantly contracted by
bridge abutments and superstructures, leading to severe sediment scour and threatening …

The success of experimental studies to investigate hydraulics of dam breaching requires an
adequate specification of geotechnical parameters and control over its realization in field or …
