This book contains the proceedings of the 18th Biennial Conference of the British Dam Society, Maintaining the Safety of our Dams and Reservoirs.
Maintaining the Safety of our Dams and Reservoirs covers a wide range of topics that are of direct relevance to all who work with dams and reservoirs, whether in the UK or abroad, be they owners, maintainers, designers or constructors.
The changes to the UK's legislative frameworks for dam safety are covered, as are examples of the many environmental factors to be taken into account, not just for the construction of new dams but also for alterations and repairs.
Several papers provide examples of the planning or construction of new dams, while many deal with upgrades and repairs to existing dams, some as the results of unforeseen incidents. Geotechnical understanding plays a major role in maintaining the safety of the UK's large stock of embankment dams, and several papers feature the results of ground investigations and the subsequent works designed on the knowledge so gained.
The papers are grouped into chapters covering:
Legislation and Environmental Challenges
Geotechnical Issues of Dam Construction and Maintenance
Mechanical Components of Dams
Risk Analysis and Reduction Measures
Design and Construction Case Studies
Monitoring and Incidents at Dams
Repairs to Dams.
