<p>In recent years, some new technologies have been applied to dam deformation measurement, offering unprecedented opportunities to safety management and structural analysis. Among these, Areal Deformation Measurement techniques from terrestrial (Terrestrial ...

<p>For safety control and economic improvement, the surveillance of the dams and their structural behavior requires observation and monitoring with high accuracy. As well, the stability of concrete vault dam depends on its overall geometry, and the analysis ...

<p>Reservoirs are usually exposed to sediment accumulation problems that will lead to reduction in their storage capacity. This problem directly affects the performance of the dams and causes shortage of their useful life. The simplest technique to estimate ...

<p>The paper offers three examples of satellite SAR interferometry (InSAR) application for monitoring dam deformations: Paradela, Raiva and Alto Ceira, all of them in Portugal. Dam deformations were estimated using several sets of ERS and Envisat C-band SAR ...

<p>Thousands of registered large concrete and embankment dams have now more than five decades of operation and age related problems. Structural safety condition assessment is the main aim of dam monitoring activities and a concern for authorities. Laser scanners ...

<p>This manual provides information on types of instruments for measuring tilt of structures</p>

<p>Through a series of twelve separate geotechnical centrifuge modeling tests, <br />seismic behavior of a zoned earth dam with saturated sandy soil foundation was studied under moderate earthquake conditions. Soil response during and after shaking was monitored ...
