Floodwalls (Deep Foundation)

This section contains event trees related to deep foundation floodwall failure modes.

NOTE

Floodwall event trees were adapted from the potential failure mode progressions outlined in EM 1110-2-2502 Floodwalls and Other Hydraulic Retaining Walls, published August 2022. To maintain consistency with the EM, all events in the failure progressions are included as a separate nodes in the event trees. Some of these nodes are certain to occur (i.e., they have a probability of 1.0). Event trees should be adjusted as necessary to fit site-specific conditions.
