dam monitoring books

Instrumentação e Segurança de Barragens de Terra e EnrocamentoMonitoring for the Safety of Earthfill and Rockfill Dams” brings together, in a single text, a clear and precise manner of all the fragmented information published in articles or stored in several technical reports. This information reflects the Brazilian experience and technology, consolidated over the last decades, to build hydropower infrastructure in the country. João Francisco A. Silveira not only participated in this process, having worked in several of the largest dams in Brazil, but has developing methodologies for managing dam safety - particularly sensitive issue when our generation Hydroelectric Power Pants begins to hit 50 years or more.

Being long-lived structures, dams need to be maintained and periodically re-evaluated or rehabilitated for safety conditions along the time. It is in this role that instrumentation occupies a prominent place.

This is a reference book for all those who are dedicated to design, monitoring, construction, rehabilitation and performance of dams.
