Contains 11 papers that address the complex geotechnical challenges
in geologic hazards, nondestructive evaluation, geo-construction,
and the ground itself.
H2GEO: Geotechnical Engineering for Water Resources presents
practical case studies and project results for geotechnical
engineering on a variety of water resources projects located in
Colorado and the Western United States. Practicing geotechnical
engineers, engineering geologists, and hydrologists share their
unique project solutions and real-world experiences with actual
projects, including Colorado's oldest water resources project, new
and modified dams, pipelines, tunnels, flood hydrology, flood
control, ground-water supply and wells, and surface reservoirs. The
seventeen papers in this collection were presented at the 2004
Biennial Geotechnical Seminar in Denver, Colorado. Many of the
papers in this ""Geotechnical Practical Publication"" deal with
dams. These include the 1000-year-old reservoirs used by the
Ancestral Puebloans at Mesa Verde. Other dam papers discuss new
mountain dams and the expansion or repair of existing dams. Flood
hydrology papers present the results of erosion control projects in
areas scarred by wildfires, flood control in urban areas with
intermittent streams, and riverbank slope stability. The
underground papers deal with water tunnel rehabilitation, mine site
cleanup, deep shaft modeling, and dam conduit repair. The last
group of papers examines shallow and deep groundwater wells, as
well as reservoirs built in alluvium and hard bedrock. All of the
papers discuss actual projects with practical applications of
geotechnical engineering innovation.
