Dam Safety: Use of Instrumentation in Dams
Journal of Earth Sciences and Geotechnical Engineering, 2020 Dam safety concerns do not stop at site selection, or the design and construction stages of a dam, but continue throughout its whole life. Seeing to safety issues of any dam is done by following up its behavior through visual observation supplemented and enriched by data collection from all the devices installed on or implanted in a dam to follow its ...
