- Protection Standard
- Forensic investigations — the American Society of Civil Engineers review panel and the Army Corps of Engineers' Interagency Performance Evaluation Task Force — concluded that many of the critical breaches occurred at water levels at or below the system's design loads, from engineering and construction deficiencies rather than from the storm exceeding the protection the system was supposed to provide.
This sourceThe ASCE Katrina panel's finding, drawing on the Corps' IPET work, that the critical l-wall breaches happened well below the design water level through design and construction deficiencies rather than through the storm exceeding the system's design protection.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 1 supported, 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
