Conclusion and outlook 330 $a Erosion is the most common cause of failures at earth-dams, dikes and levees, whether through overtopping and overflowing, or internal erosion and piping. This book is dedicated to the phenomenon of internal erosion and piping. It is not intended to be exhaustive on the subject, but brings together some of the latest international research and advances. Emphasis is placed on physical processes, how they can be studied in the laboratory, and how test results can be applied to levees and dams. The results from several research projects in Australia, France, the Netherlands and the United Stat 410 0$aISTE. 606 $aDams 606 $aLevees$xProtection 606 $aSediment transport 606 $aSoil erosion 615 0$aDams. 615 0$aLevees$xProtection. 615 0$aSediment transport. 615 0$aSoil erosion. 676 $a627.8 701 $aBonelli$b Stephane$0520725 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910138862703321 996 $aErosion in geomechanics applied to dams and levees$92243222 997 $aUNINA
