Seepage Monitoring and Analysis of Embankment Dams
This course explains methods of measuring and modeling seepage in embankment dams. It covers the types of measurements which may be used to understand seepage, as well as the tools used to take those measurements. Also included are seepage collection, methods to control seepage and 2 case studies which reinforce the material of the course.
Frequently, visual inspection tells you very little about what is happening inside the dam; however, it is important to monitor seepage, as it passes through and under all dams. Analysis of this seepage in crucial in assessing the dam’s “health”. This course helps the student to determine if the seepage present is typical or indicative of a more serious condition.
The content of this course is the video “Seepage Monitoring and Analysis of Embankment Dams”. This course includes a quiz at the end and is intended to provide 2 hours of professional development.
