RMC Internal Erosion Suite
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Risk Management Center (RMC) developed a set of toolboxes to help dam and levee safety risk assessors assess the likelihood of initiation of concentrated leak erosion, initiation and progression of backward erosion piping, and initiation of soil contact erosion. It also includes toolboxes to help assess erodibility parameters, susceptibility to internal instability, likelihood of continuation of internal erosion, and likelihood of breach.
