About this book
Until now geophysics has concentrated on characterization and remediation of dams and levees, but now the field is changing our understanding on the influence of natural processes (e.g., floods, dissolution) and human activities in the design, and management of these structures.
This monograph includes advances in the following fields of Dams and Levees studies:
· New insights from small and mid-sized laboratory experiments
· Integrated methods electromagnetic, seismic, potential methods
· Inverse modeling approaches
· Statistical considerations
· Monitoring of processes attending aging structures
· Hazard monitoring
· Risk Analysis
