REMEDIAL STRUCTURES TO STABILIZE LONG XUYEN RIVERBANK TO PREVENT SLIDING IN AN GIANG PROVINCE,VIETNAM

Abstract

Sliding of structures along riverbanks in An Giang province has caused serious losses for local people and the current stabilized methods have been ineffective to treat sliding issues sustainably. This study attempts to propose some remedial methods to prevent sliding of structures along the Long Xuyen riverbank in An Giang. These structures were designed, constructed at the selected sites, and monitored their field performance for a flood cycle which is a year. The two stabilized structures were proposed, analyzed, and successfully constructed at the two selected sites. The field monitoring instruments such inclinometer casing and groundwater observation wells also were fully installed to obtain the field data to evaluate field performance of the proposed structures.
