Resumen:

This paper illustrates a methodology to obtain fragility curves of a homogenous earth levee considering analytically two failure modes: a) slope stability, and b) internal erosion. The limit equilibrium method is applied for slope stability analyses and the finite element technique is used for the evaluation of internal erosion. The Monte Carlo simulation technique is used for the probabilistic model assumed for both failure modes through the specialized code SoilVision Systems Ltd (2014). Finally, the composite fragility curve for the studied levee is obtained using the fragility curves previously defined from each failure mode. © The authors and IGS: All rights reserved, 2019.
