Global check - Step 1d: The average slope over a height of at least 5 m is 1:5 so steeper than 1:4 => Flow slide is not possible based on criterium "steepest slope over 5 m" => Go to step 1e.

Global check - Step 1e:

The slope channel is 1:5, 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) D50 = 180 μm < 250  μm => Breaching is not possible.

But And the total slope is 1:6 5 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.

Global check - Step 3: The foreland is natural => Go to step 4.

Global check - Step 4: The slope channel is 1:6 so steeper than 1:7 => Flow slide is possible based on geometry => Go to step 5.

Global check - Step 5: The state parameter is -0.06 so less than -0.05 => Liquefaction is not possible based on the state parameter =>  Go to step 6.

Global check - Step 6: The average diameters over a thickness of 5m are D50 = 180 μm and D15 = 130 μm. So layers are present with D50 < 200 μm and D15 < 100 μm => Global check fails and Detailed check needed.

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

Overall check gives a Warning message because D50 < 200 μm , an Advanced check is therefore needed.

 Overall check: as Detailed check passes, the Overall check passes.  

Case F:

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