Earthquakes, Liquefaction, and Lateral Spreading: Examination of the Condition of Flood-Control Levees Along the Cauca River in Valle del Cauca
October 28, 2026
This presentation from CivilXPro provides an assessment of flood-control levees along the Cauca River in the Valle del Cauca following the August 10, 2026 earthquake.
After the earthquake, Asocaña contacted CivilXPro to examine the condition of many flood-control levees along the Cauca River. Field inspections documented significant ground cracking, deformation, and evidence of soil liquefaction, including sand ejecta.
