Workshop on Monitoring and Failure Detection in Earthen Embankments
Earthen embankments include levees and dams provide water supplies, protect from flooding events, and provide significant environmental services. These embankments are of concern to agencies responsible for their construction, maintenance, inspection, and failure mitigation. Many of the techniques to assess and monitor dams and levees require substantial preparation and effort. Due to the extent of the embankment system and the high cost of failure, rapid, low-cost, highly-reliable inspection and monitoring technologies are needed. A workshop was held at the US Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station 9-12 February 2009 to explore the state-of-the-art in inspection and monitoring, to identify technologies that might be applied in the near term, and to define a roadmap for research investment. Common threads in the recommendations include the need to test technologies on well-characterized sections of levees or dams; the need for improved models; the need for a better understanding of the physical phenomena; the need for improved sensors, including sources and receivers, as well as data acquisition systems and signal processing algorithms; and the need for an improved cyber-infrastructure to facilitate the rapid dissemination of data and test results.
