Non-destructive investigation on small earth dams using geophysical methods: Seismic surface wave multichannel analysis (masw) and s-wave refraction seismic methods
(2020-01-01)
The application of non-destructive methods of investigation in dams, such as refractive seismic analysis and multichannel surface wave analysis (MASW) are increasingly effective from the point of choosing the best dam site, ...
Geophysical investigation of earth dam using the electrical tomography resistivity technique
(Fundação Gorceix, 2017-03-01)
Abstract Dams are structures that dam rivers and streams for a variety of purposes. These structures often need to be sturdy to withstand the force of the impoundment and the high values of accumulated water load. The ...
Dynamic numerical analysis of the Mazar concrete faced rockfill dam in Ecuador – south america
(Springer, 2021)
The catastrophic effects of earthquakes that frequently hit the West coast of South America has motivated this research. The country of Ecuador, situated on the subduction border of the South American and Nazca tectonic ...
Analysis of the Physical Integrity of Earth Dams from Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) in Brazil
(2019-01-01)
Dams are structures that barrier rivers and streams for a variety of purposes. The constant maintenance of these structures is essential, since a possible accident can lead to damage of catastrophic proportions. In November ...
3D geophysical investigation from the methods of eletroresistivity, self-potential and seismic refraction in an earth dam
(2019-01-01)
The use of non-destructive methods for investigations of the physical stability conditions of dams has become increasingly important, mainly comparing geophysical and geotechnical methods of subsurface research. This ...
Geological and Geotechnical Characterization of the Terrateig Dam in Valencia, Spain
The Terrateig Dam is a clear example of the importance of preliminary geotechnical analysis in establishing appropriate foundation criteria. A solution for dam foundations in soluble terrains using grouting is proposed. ...
The 2019 Brumadinho tailings dam collapse: Possible cause and impacts of the worst human and environmental disaster in Brazil
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-08-01)
On 25th January 2019, the tailings dam of the Brumadinho iron mine operated by Vale S/A failed catastrophically. The death toll stood at 259 and 11 people remained missing as of January 2020. This tragedy occurred three ...
Ecosyndemics: The potential synergistic health impacts of highways and dams in the Amazon
(Elsevier, 2022)
Ecosyndemics refer to disease interactions that result from environmental changes commonly caused by humans. In this paper, we push scholarship on ecosyndemics into new territory by using the ecosyndemic framework to compare ...
