Application of the internal erosion toolbox to Rochdale canal dams. Part 2: Time for detection of internal erosion Available to Purchase

This paper is the second part of two papers considering the application of the unified method of risk analysis (internal erosion toolbox) to early nineteenth century homogenous dams. Part 1 of the paper contained an introduction to the dams under consideration and the toolbox. It then considered how to overcome bias in estimation of the probability of initiation of internal erosion. This final part considers ways to assess the time for development and likely detection of internal erosion.
