Conference Themes
In light of the occurrence of many major embankment dam failure events in the past few years, the symposium will address the most recent research and practice developments in embankment dam safety and risk management, stimulating fruitful scientific and technical interactions among the fields of soil mechanics, engineering geology, hydrology, fluid mechanics, structural and infrastructural engineering, and social sciences. The conference themes will include, but not limited to, the following topics:
- •Case histories of failure of embankment dams and landslide dams
- •Dam failure process modelling
- •Soil mechanics for embankment dams
- •Risk assessment & management
- •Detection, diagnosis and mitigation of dam distresses
- •Early warning and emergency response
- •Intelligent monitoring and management of embankment dams
- •Regulations and technical standards for embankment dam safety management
