Abstract | The manual addresses all aspects of instrumentation of embankment dams and levees, including the traditional geotechnical concepts that must be understood, as well as the growing concerns of rehabilitation, replacement, and maintenance. New initiatives such as automation are also addressed. The manual also addresses features that influence the performance of embankment dams and levees. Therefore, information presented can be applied to abutments, foundations, and the reservoir rim. |
