Description

As the number of dams built globally continues to rise, understanding the safety and stability of these massive structures becomes a primary concern for national development. This book from CRC Press examines the complex landscape of dam construction and the risks associated with large-scale engineering projects. Modern advancements in rock mechanics and engineering geology have allowed engineers to build larger dams in more challenging locations. However, these developments also bring new challenges. This text explores how unpredictable events like earthquakes, floods, and geological faults can impact dam integrity. It addresses the risks of underestimated or missed geological seams that occur during initial site exploration. By studying documented incidents and accidents, professionals can better understand the potential failures caused by material limitations or unforeseen environmental factors. This resource is designed for those looking to understand the real-world consequences of design assumptions and the necessity of thorough site investigation in dam engineering.

Key Features

Examines the role of rock mechanics and engineering geology in modern dam construction and site selection.

Analyzes the impact of unpredictable environmental events such as floods and earthquakes on dam stability.

Covers the risks associated with geological faults and soft seams that may be missed during initial exploration.

Provides insight into how advancements in material understanding allow for higher and larger dam designs.

Explores the relationship between design assumptions and real-world dam incidents and accidents.
