In the last decades, the technology of dam protection has undergone
major advancements. The increasing demand for safety in modern
society has created the need for cost-effective measures to protect
critical infrastructure such as dams. This situation has resulted
in the drafting of new regulations and technical manuals in
countries like Norway, Sweden, and the USA, among others. Dam
Protections against Overtopping and Accidental Leakage includes the
latest advances in dam protection, and a portfolio of applications
in representative case studies. The main topics include: - Failure
of embankment and concrete dams due to overtopping or accidental
leakage - Hard protections for embankment dams (RCC, wedge-shaped
blocks, reinforced concrete slabs) - Soft protections for
embankment dams (rockfill toes, articulated concrete blocks,
vegetation cover) - Concrete dam protections and additional issues
directly related to dam protections The book includes contributions
from the 1st International Seminar on Dam Protections against
Overtopping and Accidental Leakage (Madrid, Spain, 24-26 November
2014), and also a summary of the technical manual "Overtopping
Protection for Dams", published by the US Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) in March 2014. Dam Protections against
Overtopping and Accidental Leakage provides a comprehensive summary
of dam protections, covering case studies and applied research
worldwide, and will be invaluable to professionals and academics in
Dam Engineering.
