Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by civil engineers, dam safety officials, dam owners, geologists, hydraulic engineers, and risk analysts, this handbook is the first cooperative attempt to provide practical solutions to dam problems within the financial constraints faced by dam owners. It provides hands-on information for identifying and remedying common defects in concrete and masonry dams, embankment dams, reservoirs, and related structures. It also includes procedures for monitoring dams and collecting and analyzing data. Case histories demonstrate economical solutions to specific problems.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The activities in this study consists of a compilation of data for an inventory of dams; a survey of each state and federal agency's capabilities, practices and regulations in regard to the design, construction, operation and maintenance of dams; development of guidelines for the safety inspection and evaluation of dams; and recommendations of a comprehensive national program for the inspection and regulation of dams. The inventory included in the report consists of data on 49,329 dams which are 25 feet or more in height or have a maximum impounding capacity of 50 acre-feet or more. Inventory data consists of the name of the dam; the river or stream on which the dam is located; the type of dam; year completed; purpose of the dam; height and maximum storage capacity; and the name, population and distance from the dam to the nearest downstream city, town or village; the downstream hazard potential; owner of the dam; and the Congressional district in which the dam is located. This report presents the first Federal study of the problems of the safety of dams on a nationwide scale. It reveals that approximately 20,000 of the 49,329 dams are so located that failure or misoperation of the discharge facilities could result in loss of human life and appreciable or greater property damage. It was also found that existing dam safety programs in most states and in some Federal agencies are either non-existence or inadequate.

Download or read book Dam Surveillance Guide written by CIGB ICOLD and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dams are part of human achievements that induce great benefits for society but also bear a potential risk to people, property and the natural environment. The risk of a dam rupture is extremely low and diffi cult to quantify accurately. The aim of ‘Dam surveillance’ (ICOLD Bulletin 158), is to help reduce these risks by early detection of an undesirable event. The objective of dam surveillance is to make a precise and timely diagnosis of the behavior of dams, in order to prevent undesirable consequences. Both the monitoring system and surveillance program has to be designed and should be able to detect any abnormal behaviour. ‘Dam surveillance’ (ICOLD Bulletin 158), emphasizes the following aspects: • Routine visual inspection • Special inspection • Checking and testing of Hydro-electromechanical equipment • Monitoring parameters and devices • Automation • Maintenance of ageing monitoring systems • Re-instrumentation of existing dams • Recent developments • Data management • Dam documentation management • Assessment of dam condition and behaviour • Assessment of routine dam safety monitoring programme • Prioritization of maintenance, remedial and upgrading works.
