Evaluation of Empirical Methods for Estimating Breaching Parameters of Dikes
View through CrossRef
Dike breaching parameters are important to support dike flood risk management, and can be estimated rapidly using empirical models. Due to the lack of dike specific models, sometimes models for man-made dams were used without validation. This paper compares relevant factors of dike, man-made dam and landslide dam breaches. With the aid of two dike breaching cases, the prediction capabilities of different dike, man-made dam and landslide dam models are studied. It is clearly shown that the models for man-made dams and landslide dams should not be used for dike breaching analysis.
