Biopolymer-Reinforced Levee for Breach Development Retardation and Enhanced Erosion Control

This study proposes an earthen levee reinforcement method with a new biopolymer-based material to prevent levee scour and breach. It is an eco-friendly method that can efficiently protect the levee slope as it enhances soil strength, even at a very low concentration of biopolymer, and has high resis...
