Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Besides giving an historical introduction to embankment dams the book describes the need for instrumentation, planning procurement and installation practices of instruments. The significance of visual inspection and techniques, of monitoring various parameters, seepage, pore pressure, surface and internal displacements, earth pressures and seismic behaviour, through instrumentation has been described. Collection and processing of data and their use for back analysis to check stability of a dam at various stages of construction and reservoir filling have been suggested. In addition to case histories quoted in various chapters, an exclusive chapter on select case histories has been added which describes the conventional and latest instruments that are being used and methods adopted for installation, monitoring and analyses of data.

Book excerpt: This manual provides guidance to Corps of Engineers (CE) personnel who are responsible for monitoring and analyzing embankment dams and levees. This revision focuses on issues that are of current concern in the Corps' mission of dam safety which includes monitoring embankment dams and levees. Design and construction of new projects have been decreasing. The majority of Corps dams have been instrumented, and the basic instrumentation concepts for monitoring seepage, pressure, and movement have been emphasized over the years in several CE regulations, directives, and programs. Geotechnical personnel are generally familiar with the behavior of instrument systems for which they are responsible. The current challenge for personnel responsible for embankment dam and levee safety is increased, and continuous attention must be paid to operation and maintenance of existing embankment structures and instrument systems. Therefore, a significant amount of engineering judgment must be applied to major rehabilitation, assessment of system performance, replacement, maintenance, and other situations that have become unique to each embankment structure and instrument system. This manual provides information and guidance that is needed for modifying existing systems as well as for new system installation for new construction.

Download or read book Geotechnical Engineering of Dams written by Robin Fell and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-11-21 with total page 1374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive text on the geotechnical and geological aspects of the investigations for and the design and construction of new dams and the review and assessment of existing dams. The book provides dam engineers and geologists with a practical approach, and gives university students an insight into the subject of dam engineering. All phases of investigation, design and construction are covered, through to the preliminary and detailed design phases and ultimately the construction phase. This revised and expanded 2nd edition includes a lengthy new chapter on the assessment of the likelihood of failure of dams by internal erosion and piping.

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.
