Abstract

Dikes are structures that prevent overflow to the inland ground and must be built on a continuing basis to protect flood-prone areas. To have a long service life, dikes must be built according to design standards, and failure to do so my result in the structure failing. Failure on some parts of Consuelo Dike motivated the researchers to come up with the study. The present project study aimed to propose a redesign of the dike along Sitio Delta, Consuelo, Macabebe, and Pampanga. Before determining the parameters needed in designing, the researchers identified first the causes of the failure of the dike through the gathered or collected data from the respondents’ observations and experiences. Then, researchers assessed the present condition of the existing dike through site analysis and actual observation. The data collection procedure was carried out by obtaining secondary data from the Municipality of Macabebe and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). This includes the result of soil sample tests, past maximum flood levels, river profiling, geotechnical investigations, and other tests made regarding the dike. The findings of the study helped the residents of Barangay Consuelo deal with the consequences of dike failure. The findings provided useful data to the Local Government Unit of Macabebe, Pampanga, which can be used as a reference and guide to the development of the existing Consuelo Dike design. Researchers may use the findings to identify additional areas of concern and recommend appropriate interventions.
