IJkdijk Full Scale Underseepage Erosion (Piping) Test: Evaluation of Innovative Sensor Technology
The IJkdijk (Dutch for `calibration levee') is an unique Dutch facility where full scale levees are built and brought to failure with two explicit goals: to increase the knowledge on levee behaviour and to develop and test new sensor technologies for flood early warning systems under field conditions. In 2009 four experiments have been carried out, aiming at failure caused by underseepage erosion (piping). Several innovative sensor technologies have been tested during these experiments. In this article the use of fibre optics is evaluated. To ensure a proper calibration of these experimental measurements, an extensive reference monitoring program has been carried out employing proven technology. The process of seepage erosion resulted in a huge amount of advanced sensor information. The results and predictive values of the measurements are analysed, compared and evaluated.
