The paper presents results of numerical modelling of the response of a flood bank to the rising or lowering water table. The modelling was performed with the finite element method (FEM) in two variants: excluding the effect of groundwater seepage through the flood bank (PLAXIS v. 8) and including groundwater seepage during intervals between increments in the height of the groundwater table (PLAXIS...
The paper compares the results of a study on a plane physical model of a flood embankment with the outcome of a numerical modeling using the finite element method (FEM). The numerical modeling was performed with the PLAXIS software package while the empirical data were processed with the geoPIV programme. Two types of model studies were completed, consisting of alternately raising (up to complete...
The paper describes model tests on flood embankments, performed within the frame of EC 6th Framework Integrated Project FLOODsite (LEŚNIEWSKA et al. 2007). It is focussed mainly on presenting physical phenomena observed during the tests and related to air entrapment within embankment body and its subsequent release. The most important conclusion derived from recent tests is the existence of clear...
