Case E:

Global check - Step 1a:

Channel depth: H = 15 m

Marge = 2 H  = 30m

Slope of the observation profile: 1:15

Assessment level: Z = -10 m

XSsign (-70 m) < XSzv (30 m) => Flow slide would lead to damage on levee => Go to step 1c.

Global check - Step 1c: The foreland is natural => Go to step 1d.

Global check - Step 1d: The average slope over a height of at least 5 m is 1:2 so steeper than 1:4 => Flow slide is possible based on criterium "steepest slope over 5 m" => Go to step 1e.

Global check - Step 1e:

The slope channel is 1:6, so the slope is softer than the critical (local) slope from the CUR table (not too fine sand with  D50 = 230 μm and D15 = 130 μm) => Breaching is not possible.

But the total slope is 1:6 so steeper than 1:7 => Flow slide is possible based on average slope => Global check fails.

Detailed check: (see table below for intermediary results) Probability of flood damage by liquefaction  < Allowable probability of failure  => Detailed check passes.

Overall check: the Overall result passes.

 

Global check - Step 1: Same results as benchmark 1-1 (flow slide would lead to damage on levee) => Go to step 3.
