d  The selected sand type is "Very fine" so the breach flow check in step 1e could not be performed, Advanced check needed.

e  Global passes but Detailed fails, check the input.

 

 

For case A, the same input as benchmark 1-1 (see group 1)  is used except:

...

XSsign > XSzv => Flow slide would not lead to damage on levee => Global check passes.

Detailed check: ( see table below for intermediary results) Probability of flood damage by liquefaction  (= 0.00) < Allowable probability of failure (2.50 × 10-6) => Detailed check passes.D-Flow Slide results

Overall check: as Global and Detailed check pass, the The Overall check gives a Warning message because D50 < 200 μm , an Advanced check is therefore needed. 

...

Global check - Step 1c: The foreland is artificial => Global and Detailed check fail, an Advanced check is needed.

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

Overall check: as step 1c of The Overall check gives a Information message because the Global check fails, the Overall check fails whatever the Detailed check result. 

Case C:

Global check - Step 1a:

...

Global check - Step 1d: The average slope over a height of at least 5 m is 1:3.901 so steeper than 1:4 => Flow slide is possible based on criterium "steepest slope over 5 m" => Global check fails.

Detailed check: ( see table below for intermediary results) Probability of flood damage by liquefaction  > Allowable probability of failure  => Detailed check fails.D-Flow Slide results

Overall check: the Overall result gives a warning Warning because the criteria on "steepest slope over 5 m" is met, an Advanced check is therefore needed.

...

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.D-Flow Slide results

Overall check: No messageOverall check: the Overall result passes.

Case E:

Global check - Step 1a:

...

And the total slope is 1:5 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.D-Flow Slide results

Overall check: the Overall check gives a two Warning message messages because D50 < 200 μm and because the selected sand type is "Very fine", an Advanced check is therefore needed.

...

=> 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.D-Flow Slide results

Overall check: as Detailed check passes, the Overall check gives a Warning message The Overall check gives two Warning messages because D50 < 200 μm and because the selected sand type is "Very fine", an Advanced check is therefore needed. 

...

=> Flow slide is not possible based on average slope => Global check passes.

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

Overall check: as Global and Detailed check pass, the Overall passes. No message.

 

Case H:

Global check - Step 1a: Flow slide would lead to damage on levee => Go to step 1c.

...

=> Flow slide is not possible based on average slope => Global check passes.

Detailed check: ( see table below for intermediary results) Probability of flood damage by liquefaction  > Allowable probability of failure  => Detailed check fails.D-Flow Slide results

Overall check: Global passes and Detailed checks fails, that's not logical, so a warning message is displayed in the Overall check. No message.

 

Case I:

Global check : idem case H => Global check passes.

Detailed check: Results not available.

Overall check:  the Global check passes and the Detailed check is not available. Therefore, the Overall check passes and no warning is given about illogical results.No message.

 

Case J:

Global check : idem case B => Global check fails.

Detailed check: Results not available.

Overall check: the Global check fails and the Detailed check is not available. Therefore, the Overall result is not available, a detailed check is needed No message.
