Dams play a critical role in water storage, especially for areas with unequal rainfall and limited water availability. While the safety of existing dams, periodic re-evaluations and life extensions are the primary objectives in developed countries, the design and construction of new dams are the main concerns in developing countries. The role of dam engineers has greatly changed over recent decades. Thanks to new technologies, the surveillance, monitoring, design and analysis tasks involved in this process have significantly improved. The current edited book is a collection of dam-related papers. The overall aim of this edited book is to improve modeling, simulation and field measurements for different dam types (i.e. concrete gravity dams, concrete arch dams, and embankments). The articles cover a wide range of topics on the subject of dams, and reflect the scientific efforts and engineering approaches in this challenging and exciting research field.History of engineering and technologybicsscalkali-silica reactionarch damscentral clay coreconcrete arch damsconcrete damconcrete damsconcrete gravity damscrack predictiondam safetydamagedamsdownstream shoulderdynamic capacityearth damearthfill damendurance time analysisexcavationexisting concrete damfailurefieldfinite element analysisfinite elementsgeodetic monitoringgroundwaterhealth monitoringinstrumentationlong-term behaviourmovementn/anon-linear finite element analysesnonlinearpassive rock boltperformance based earthquake engineeringprobabilisticprogressive failurerainfallreservoir level fluctuationsresponse correlationsaturation degreeseasonal temperature variationsseepageseismicseismic effectsseismic fragility analysissettlementssoil nailspatialstability assessmentstochasticstructural safety and reliabilitytemperatureuncertainty quantificationvariabilityHistory of engineering and technologyHariri-Ardebili M.
