Dear colleagues:
In the coming months and years there is no doubt that some, perhaps many, of us will be called upon to provide our knowledge and abilities to reconstruction after the devastating natural disasters of recent weeks.
Flood-control levees are likely to be high on the list of geotechnical structures requiring attention.
With that in mind, over the last few days I created a webpage to synthesize some potentially useful information on this topic that I have acquired over the last almost 20 years. I am pleased to share this information with you to use as you may see fit in the future.
Please feel free to circulate the URL below without restriction to anyone you think may have an interest in it. Hopefully the time may be right to look for solutions outside of the proverbial box when it comes to levee structures which, as we have learned the hard way, are critical to society. –
John S. Horvath
