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. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 610 $aalkali-silica reaction 610 $aarch dams 610 $acentral clay core 610 $aconcrete arch dams 610 $aconcrete dam 610 $aconcrete dams 610 $aconcrete gravity dams 610 $acrack prediction 610 $adam safety 610 $adamage 610 $adams 610 $adownstream shoulder 610 $adynamic capacity 610 $aearth dam 610 $aearthfill dam 610 $aendurance time analysis 610 $aexcavation 610 $aexisting concrete dam 610 $afailure 610 $afield 610 $afinite element analysis 610 $afinite elements 610 $ageodetic monitoring 610 $agroundwater 610 $ahealth monitoring 610 $ainstrumentation 610 $along-term behaviour 610 $amovement 610 $an/a 610 $anon-linear finite element analyses 610 $anonlinear 610 $apassive rock bolt 610 $aperformance based earthquake engineering 610 $aprobabilistic 610 $aprogressive failure 610 $arainfall 610 $areservoir level fluctuations 610 $aresponse correlation 610 $asaturation degree 610 $aseasonal temperature variations 610 $aseepage 610 $aseismic 610 $aseismic effects 610 $aseismic fragility analysis 610 $asettlements 610 $asoil nail 610 $aspatial 610 $astability assessment 610 $astochastic 610 $astructural safety and reliability 610 $atemperature 610 $auncertainty quantification 610 $avariability 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 700 $aHariri-Ardebili$b M.
