71;N-OF07 Overflow Test (RTM);Strength test;"The N-OF07 RTM overflow test has been executed on the landward side of a Dutch levee in the Hedwige Prosper Polder. The entire section has been stripped from its original vegetation and soil layer (approx. 10 to 15 cm of soil was removed). On the entire section, the RTM solution has been installed.
The setup for the execution of the test consists of a 2 m wide section that is boarded by wooden plates but the boarding is limited to the top of the slope. Further down, the water is left free to search its way down the slope, over or though the geogrid. No sensors have been place, other than 1 camera frame. The reason for this limited setup is that the goal is to observe the performance of the RTM rather than assessing damage evolution or hydraulic behaviour.";False;False;True;True;False;False;2021-11-23 12:40:00;2021-11-23 13:10:00;0;1.0;1 block of overflow with 30 minutes duration at a discharge of 11 m³/min.;VI;51.34832;4.22918;12.0;Landward slope of levee.;"Lambert '72 coordinates:

A discharge of 11 m³/min was applied. The test was stopped due to severe erosion of sediments.;"1 overhead camera portal to take pictures.
No hydraulic sensors.";Visual observation of stability/damage evolution.;;"From the onset of the overflow test, it was observed that the water was flowing through and under the geogrid solution. Discharge water appearing at the toe was heavily sediment laden, which was an indication of strong erosion below the RTM.
During the experiment, it was observed that water was flowing out along two lines from the top to the bottom of the crest all the way down. These lines were about 40 cm wide and were separated by 2.5 m";"It was considered and confirmed afterwards that these lines were actually corresponding to the tracks of the crane that was used during the removal of the grass cover and installation of the RTM solution. In this process, gullies were formed that were filled with (less compacted) soil afterwards. It is thought that this soil was quickly eroded and formed very deep (0.25 - 0.5 m) erosion channels.
It was also observed that some of the anchors became partly loosened due to the erosion and the current action that created a drag force on the RTM solution.";"Geogrid solutions may not be adequate in protecting a clay cover.
Crane tracks severed the test and installation technique may have to be revised.";"Factual data report:
