0208: Non-Destructive Testing of Bar or Cable Anchors Embedded in Concrete Dams

T052700-0208A - Feasibility Analysis of Reflectometry for Dam Support Non-Destructive Evaluation. Concrete dams and other large civil structures utilize steel cable anchors to improve strength and stability. These anchors are imbedded in concrete and may deteriorate over time, resulting in complete or partial breakage. Reflectometry methods that have been used for location of faults in electrical systems are examined as a possible method for location and quantization of faults on concrete

0234: Using Maturity Matrices to Evaluate Dam Safety Programs

Maturity matrices are a powerful tool to evaluate how well-developed a process or program is. The maturity matrices described in this manual have been developed for owners to assess the effectiveness of a dam safety program against industry practice.In this maturity matrix, the current state of development (or maturity) of a dam safety program can be evaluated. If required, improvements to the program can be subsequently developed, prioritized & planned and then the process can be repeated at a

0213D: People, Technology, and Organization (PTO) Application to Emergency Preparedness Plans (EPP)

The overall goal of this project is to provide recommendations for the design of a “toolkit” which dam owners can use in order to apply PTO to evaluate gaps in the commonly accepted practice for dam safety emergency preparedness. In addition to the development of the toolkit addressing an integrated approach to emergency preparedness, this will also deliver on an improved understanding and training for dam owners in applying PTO to their specific Emergency Preparedness Plan processes

0207: Embankment Dam Erosion and Breach Project

0207APhysical hydraulic model tests of embankment dam breach processes are reviewed, beginning with testing conducted near the end of the 19th century and progressing through more recent work on fuse plug embankments, homogeneous cohesive and noncohesive embankments, rockfill dams, and zoned embankments. The majority of the testing has been focused on erosion and breach initiated by overtopping flow, although recent studies have begun to consider piping. Most testing has been conducted at rela

0206: Static Ice Loads On Hydro-Electric Structures - Summary Report, Ice Load Design Guide, and Ice Load Prediction Computer Program

A ten-year project was undertaken in which field programs were conducted over a nine-year period from 1991-92 to 1999-00 to: (a) measure the loads in the ice sheet near the dam; (b) measure the load distribution between a gate and pier, and: (c) compare the loads on wooden and steel stoplogs. Parallel work was conducted to develop analytical predictors for ice loads. An environmental model was developed which compares well to the measured data. An Ice Loads Design Guide was produced, synthesizi

0205A: Investigation of Geophysical Methods for Assessing Seepage and Internal Erosion in Embankment Dams: A Parameter Study for Internal Erosion Monitoring

T992700-0205A. A Parameter Study for Internal Erosion MonitoringThis volume marks one of a series of reports on the subject of geophysical methods and their usein assessing seepage and internal erosion in embankment dams. These reports are available both separately and as a package.The objective of dam monitoring is to obtain key information about the dam safety status and itis therefore essential for dam owners. The most common monitoring methods are seepage and pressure, which sometimes d

0256: Dam Safety Performance Monitoring and Data Management – Best Practices (2024 Update)

Geosyntec Consultants (Geosyntec) was selected to update the CEATI Report No. T082700-0210 "Dam Safety Performance Monitoring and Data Management – Best Practices" to help CEATI’s Dam Safety Interest Group (DSIG). The updates to the original CEATI Report were requested in the scope of work defined by CEATI, complementing the input from selected CEATI members. Hence, updates were restricted to some sections of the Report and focused on the importance of (i) visual monitoring and documentation as
