Description

Dams: Incidents and Accidents by CRC Press examines the critical challenges and risks inherent in modern dam construction and operation. As dam engineering has advanced through rock mechanics and engineering geology, the ability to build larger structures in difficult locations has grown significantly. However, unpredictable events such as earthquakes, floods, geological faults, and soft seams continue to pose serious risks that may be underestimated or entirely missed during initial site exploration. This comprehensive guide explores real-world incidents and accidents related to dams, providing essential insights into how these catastrophic failures occur and what lessons the engineering community has learned. Understanding these case studies helps dam engineers, geotechnical specialists, and project managers identify potential hazards earlier, implement better safety protocols, and design more resilient structures. Whether you work in civil engineering, hydroelectric development, or water resource management, this CRC Press publication offers valuable knowledge for improving dam safety and performance across all stages of a project's lifecycle.

Key Features

Dams: Incidents and Accidents provides detailed analysis of real-world dam failures and mishaps in construction and operation.

CRC Press brings engineering expertise to examine how geological faults, soft seams, earthquakes, and floods impact dam safety.

The book covers the assumptions and risks used in dam design theory, including unpredictable environmental and geological events.

Explores how advances in rock mechanics and engineering geology have enabled construction of higher, larger dams on difficult sites.
