Levee construction on Mississippi and its effect on river section
Sections generally employed are represented as insuring angle of repose of dry earth on wet clay of 14 deg. when water is at top of levee, which is limiting angle for such materials. Upon comparing Mississippi levees with European practice it is found that European levees have a greater width of crown and steeper land slopes but about same width of base.
