D-FLOW SLIDE is a user-friendly software tool developed for performing a safety assessment on the failure mechanism flow slide. The safety assessment includes a Global assessment method, which is a slightly modified version of the method in the VTV-2006, and a probabilistic Detailed assessment method. Furthermore advanced models for static liquefaction (SLIQ2D) and breach flow (HMBreach) have been implemented in D-FLOW SLIDE.
A preliminary link between D-FLOW SLIDE and the software DAM has been established. Implementation in DAM makes it possible to do automated calculations with D-FLOW SLIDE which makes it possible to perform scenario analyses, e.g. for evaluating the influence of different (stochastic) subsoil scenario's or evaluating the safety against flow slides for predicted changes of the foreland geometry due to erosion or sedimentation. This is important information for policy makers. Flow slide is a failure mode of the foreland of the levee and does not necessarily directly result in failure of the levee and therewith flooding of the hinterland. However, failure of the foreland may induce a so-called “direct” failure mechanism of the levee, such as overtopping and -flow, backward erosion ("piping") and macro-instability.
Since DAM includes calculation models of several direct failure modes, it is possible to calculate the combined probability on a flow slide and the subsequent failure of the levee by a “direct” failure mode.
It has been anticipated for implementation of D-FLOW SLIDE in RingToets in future.
