In recent <br>years, riverbank erosion and failures have become more frequent along the Saigon River, causing flooding and <br>damage to infrastructures near the river. A field investigation and numerical study has been undertaken by our <br>research group to identify factors affecting the riverbank failure. In this paper, field investigation results obtained <br>from multiple investigation points on the Saigon River are presented, followed by a comprehensive coupled <br>finite element analysis of riverbank stability when subjected to river water level fluctuations. The river water <br>level fluctuation has been identified as one of the main factors affecting the riverbank failure, i.e. removal of the <br>balancing hydraulic forces acting on the riverbank during water drawdown.</p>}, number={15}, journal={GEOMATE Journal}, author={A.
