Experimental characterization of root-reinforced riparian sediment deposits in a restored and widened river course
Giovanni De Cesare, Paolo Perona
The Arbogne River is located mainly in the Swiss canton of Fribourg. The River was meandering through the plane at a very low gradient and several exceptional historic floods with large sediment accumulation are mentioned. After important river training wo ...
2023Time-dependent failure analysis of large block size riprap as bank protection in mountain rivers
Erodible river banks need to be safe against the possible scouring during flood events in mountain rivers. The consequences of the bank failure are probably lateral uncontrolled erosion and flooding with disastrous losses in residential areas or damage of ...
EPFL2016Riprap Protection of Vertical-Wall and Spill-Through Bridge Abutments
Anton Schleiss, António Heleno Cardoso
Scour around bridge abutments frequently leads to the collapse of bridge superstructures. Consequently, scour countermeasures are usually designed and installed by river engineers, riprap matting being the most widespread solution. The associated design cr ...
2012Failure risk analysis of riverbank ripraps with Monte Carlo simulation
Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Mona Jafarnejad Chaghooshi
The potential failure evaluation of river embankment structures such as ripraps, resulting from erosion or over-flows during flood events, is the main issue of their stability and safety assessment. Moreover, a changed sediment transport in rivers as a pos ...
