Product Information

In those cases, greater slope protection, such as riprap, articulated map or paving should be provided beneath bridges and adjacent to structures that pass through levee embankments. The amount of protection necessary will depend on the length of time that flood waters are expected to act against a levee; the relative susceptibility of the embankment and materials to erosion; the ability to shield the riverside slop from wave attacks and current using timber stands and wide spaces; any structures riverside of the levee; any turbulence and susceptibility to scour; and the steepness of riverside levee slopes. Sometimes, trees and plants like Bermuda grass ( Cynodon dactylon) are planted near levees to anchor the soil. Any opinions in the examples do not represent the opinion of the Cambridge Dictionary editors or of Cambridge University Press or its licensors.

The trench should be located at or near the centerline of hauled fill levees, or at or near the riverside toe of sand levees, so that it will connect with waterside impervious facings.

Prominent levee systems have been built along the Mississippi River and Sacramento River in the United States, and the Po, Rhine, Meuse River, Rhône, Loire, Vistula, the delta formed by the Rhine, Maas/Meuse and Scheldt in the Netherlands and the Danube in Europe. And as Ma Rainey illustrates, even the Black artists who found success in the industry and earned record deals weren’t given the respect they deserved. However, after the Europeans destroyed Tenochtitlan, the levee was also destroyed and flooding became a major problem, which resulted in the majority of The Lake being drained in the 17th century. A levee made from stones laid in horizontal rows with a bed of thin turf between each of them is known as a spetchel.

Some silt-laden streams, as their flow slows, may deposit sediment in their bed between their enclosing levees and thus build their channels up higher than the surrounding floodplains. If pervious or soft materials are encountered, the borings should extend to impervious or firm material. The depths of borings should always be deep enough to provide sufficient data for stability analysis of the levee and foundation. In situations where undisturbed samples are either not being obtained or are difficult to obtained, in situ vane shear tests can be used to determine undrained shear strength. The borings can either be laid out along the levee centerline, or staggered along the alignment to cover more area and provide information on borrow materials.

The biggest of these are the huge levees in the Netherlands, which have gone beyond just defending against floods, as they have aggressively taken back land that is below mean sea level. As an initial matter, all available information should be examined, such as topographic, soil and geological maps, as well as aerial photographs. The ceremony at Versailles [14] has been described in detail by Louis de Rouvroy, duc de Saint-Simon. This will ensure a good bond between the foundation and fill, and to eliminate a plane of weakness at the interface.
