<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>Rivers transport sediment from eroding uplands to depositional areas near sea level. If the continuity of sediment transport is interrupted by dams or removal of sediment from the channel by gravel mining, the flow may become sediment-starved (hungry water) ...

<p>An adequate assessment of site geologic and geotechnical conditions is one of the most important aspects of a dam safety evaluation. Evaluation of the safety of either a new or an existing dam requires, among other things, that its foundation has been adequately ...
