Book Description:
|
The assumptions and risks used in the theory of dam design, include such unpredictable events as earthquakes and floods, and geological faults or soft seams. Systematically monitoring the dam's behaviour from the potential risk stage to the accident event, would allow a hazard-management programme to be implemented, minimising loss of life and property, and provide useful data.
