Numerical investigation of the performance of engineered barriers in reducing flood risk

In this paper, 2-dimensional, hydro-mechanically coupled finite element analyses are performed to assess the performance of an engineered barrier aimed at reducing flood risk in urban environments. The barrier consists of an unsaturated compacted soil layer and a drainage layer of a coarse granular...
