The stability of levees can be affected during fluctuations in the water table. It is also possible for the flood caused by the typhoon to have an influence on the position of the water table in an earth levee. This paper compares the traditional methods methodology with a combination of transient seepage and slope stability analysis for analyzing rapid drawdown scenarios. Firstly the stability of a levee was calculated by conventional methods, then considering the effect of water level changes in the seepage area, the simulated transient pore-water pressure response from a finite element SEEP / W analysis was used for levee stability simulation. The Silt Solidified Piles have a positive effect on the stability of the levee. The result s provide design basis for the projects.
