ICOLD Bulletin 164 Volume 2 presents case histories of internal erosion failures and incidents, and advises on the investigations, sampling and testing that can be used to provide the data needed to carry out analyses of the vulnerability of dams and levees to internal erosion. It also advises on remediation, if analyses have demonstrated that it is necessary, and on surveillance and monitoring systems to check and confirm the continuing ability of the dam to resist internal erosion in the long-term. The Working Group on ...

ICOLD Bulletin 164 Volume 2 presents case histories of internal erosion failures and incidents, and advises on the investigations, sampling and testing that can be used to provide the data needed to carry out analyses of the vulnerability of dams and levees to internal erosion. It also advises on remediation, if analyses have demonstrated that it is necessary, and on surveillance and monitoring systems to check and confirm the continuing ability of the dam to resist internal erosion in the long-term. The Working Group on Internal Erosion has brought together experts from all continents at annual meetings and their work provides the basis for most of Volume 2. Information on case histories has been most generously provided by owners and engineers, recognizing that such information will contribute to preventing tragic events in future. The work of specialists in laboratory testing and geophysics who have contributed actively to the Working Group over many years is now accessible to dam engineers in the chapters on investigations and monitoring in ICOLD Bulletin 164 Volume 2. Le ICOLD Bulletin 164 Volume 2 pr???sente des cas de ruptures et d'incidents par ???rosion interne et donne des conseils sur les reconnaissances, les pr???l???vements et les essais qui peuvent fournir les donn???es n???cessaires ??? l'analyse de la tenue des barrages et digues ??? l'???rosion interne. Il donne ???galement des conseils sur les mesures correctives, quand elles sont jug???es n???cessaires par l'???valuation du risque d'???rosion interne, et sur les syst???mes de surveillance et de contr???le permettant de v???rifier et de confirmer la capacit??? permanente du barrage ??? r???sister ??? l'???rosion interne ??? long terme. Le groupe de travail sur l'???rosion interne a r???uni des experts de tous les continents et leurs travaux constituent la base de la majeure partie du volume 2. Les ma???tres d'ouvrage et les ing???nieurs ont g???n???reusement fourni des informations sur les ???tudes de cas, reconnaissant que ces informations contribueront ??? pr???venir ??? l'avenir de tels ???v???nements tragiques. Le travail des g???otechniciens et des g???ophysiciens, qui ont activement contribu??? au groupe de travail pendant de nombreuses ann???es, est maintenant accessible aux ing???nieurs des barrages dans les chapitres du ICOLD Bulletin 164 Volume 2 sur les reconnaissances et la surveillance.
