Abstract

In this thesis, the effects of the foreshore and heterogeneities of the subsoil on the piping safety analysis are determined. The effects are searched for by use of the numerical model D-Geo Flow. The results of this research give more insights in when and how a foreshore has to be included in the safety analysis. It is also concluded that heterogeneous soils are more resistant to piping than homogeneous soils, which are currently used in the safety analysis.
