Assessment and Rehabilitation of Embankment Dams
Publication: Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities
Volume 16, Issue 4
Abstract
A series of observations, studies, and analyses to be made in the field and in the office are presented to gain a proper understanding of how an embankment dam fits into its geologic setting and how it interacts with the presence of the reservoir it impounds. It is intended to provide an introduction to the engineering challenges of assessment and rehabilitation of embankments, with particular reference to a Croton Dam embankment.
