Geotechnical Engineering of Dams, 2nd edition 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 main emphasis
of this work is on embankment dams, but much of the text,
particularly those parts related to geology, can be used for
concrete gravity and arch dams. All phases of investigation, design
and construction are covered. Detailed descriptions are given from
the initial site assessment and site investigation program through
to the preliminary and detailed design phases and, ultimately, the
construction phase. The assessment of existing dams, including the
analysis of risks posed by those dams, is also discussed. This
wholly revised and significantly expanded 2nd edition includes a
lengthy new appendix on the assessment of the likelihood of failure
of dams by internal erosion and piping. This valuable source on dam
engineering incorporates the 200+ years of collective experience of
the authors in the subject area. Design methods are presented in
combination with their theoretical basis, to enable the reader to
develop a proper understanding of the possibilities and limitations
of a method. For its practical, well-founded approach, this work
can serve as a useful guide for professional dam engineers and
engineering geologists and as a textbook for university students.
