Assessment of the Technical Condition of Dams Using Dynamic and Geophysical Testing Methods
The necessity of using integrated monitoring of the technical condition to ensure the safe operation of dams is shown. It is scientifically proven that the usual comprehensive assessment of the dam technical condition, used in dynamic and geophysical tests using traditional destructive methods with the excavation of pits to a great depth, sampling of materials and non-destructive testing on accessible surfaces, is difficult and does not give guaranteed results. The new comprehensive assessment of the technical condition of dams is proposed using integral methods of dynamic and geophysical tests that provide complete control of the dam body
