Technical Evaluation of the Safety of Hydrotechnical Structures (Teknicheskai Ostenka Bezolasnosti Gidrotekhnicheskikh Soorujenii),
Abstract
As in the entire world, an important place in hydrotechnical construction in the USSR is taken by earthen dams. The modern conditions of building hydrotechnical structures are becoming more and more complicated, at the same time as the scale of structures is vigorously growing. The construction of facilities must be more and more often carried out under complex engineering-geological conditions, in regions with a high seismic activity, a severe climate and permafrost. In this regard, the role and importance of field control of the work and the safety of modern dams significantly increase. In addition to monitoring functions, field investigations are called upon to solve many problems of scientific and practical significance. This report examines certain aspects of monitoring the work and condition of earthen dams, including those built in northern regions.
