This proceedings book gathers contributions presented at the First International Conference on Embankment Dams (1st ICED, Beijing, 5?7 June 2020), which was the inaugural conference of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) Technical Committee TC210 on Embankment Dams. The contributions address five themes: (1) case histories on the failure of embankment dams and landslide dams; (2) dam failure process modelling; (3) soil mechanics for embankment dams; (4) dam risk assessment and management; and (5) monitoring, early warning and emergency response.
These proceedings offer a unique resource that systematically presents recent dam breaching cases, their social impact, associated risk management strategies, and disposal methods for failed dams. It is an excellent reference guide for dam and levee engineers, flood safety officials, and emergency management agencies.
Gathers the proceedings of the First International Conference on Embankment Dams (ICED’2020), organized by the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) Technical Committee TC210 on Embankment Dams, and held in Beijing, China, on 5–7 June 2020
Addresses recent dam breaching cases, their social impact, associated risk management strategies, long-term disposal methods for failed dams, and suggested scientific topics for further research
