Retrofitting and reinforcement of Levees

Call for contributions for a joint report by the ISSMGE TC201

Following a similar structure of our previous report on the failure paths/failure scenarios (available on the ISSMGE Online Library), the basis of the new report will be a framework of retrofitting and reinforcement techniques. International contributions on cases and/or technique factsheets will form a part of the core content of the report.

We kindly invite you to submit a contribution. Each contribution will form an independent section acknowledging the names of the contributing authors. We welcome contributions in the form of:
•    Case study of a reinforcement or retrofitting that has been carried out, and/or
•    Case study of a pilot or demonstration project in the development of an innovative technique and/or
•    Case study of experiments investigating the feasibility of innovative techniques, and/or
•    Technical factsheet on a technique.

Overview of techniques that can be used for retrofitting and reinforcement with a focus of internal erosion, slope stability and external erosion (temporary version)

Example of topics for which contributions have already been submitted: relief wells, cut-off walls, bamboo mattresses and consolidation techniques

You can submit your contribution until August 31st, 2025. The template can be found below.

If you have any questions, please contact issmge-tc201@deltares.nl.
We are looking forward to your valuable contributions to this international report!
