520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Reviews the geotechnical factors that can affect the performance of fluvial and estuarine flood defence embankments in the short and long term. There are some 35 000 km of such embankments in England and Wales with an annual £450m maintenance and new construction budget. Considers traditional flood embankment construction methods, compares them to modern techniques and looks at the type of local construction materials used. Discusses the range of geotechnical factors that can lead to loss of performance and examines case histories of embankment breaches. Figures and tables cover flood defence embankment construction, embankment breaches and partial failures and geotechnical factors affecting embankment stability. References.
