Geology of dams?

Question

hi
i'm a fresh man student of civil eng.
i need a text on dams and geology for engineering geology of about 7 to 10 pages
where can i find it ?

Answer 1

In the first web site I posted for you there is someone you are able to talk with about dams, he offers his name, phone number, and e-mail address. This man is apart of / owns ? a company called GHD which has been responsible for both investigations and designs of over 75 large dams since 1930. Since 1984 they conducted over 110 dams. Investigated, designing and 45 detailed designs leading to the construction of 37 large dams.

LINKS TO DAM SAFETY ORGANIZATIONS:
-Association of dam safety officials
-California Division of safety dams
-Federal energy regulatory commission
-International commission of large dams

SELECTED ENGINEERING GEOLOGIC INFORMATION IMPORTANT FOR DAMS:
-U.S Bureau of reclamation'sengineering geology field manual
-U.S Army Corps of engineers civil works engineer manuals
-California DSOD technical references
-NRCS rock material field classification system
-Dam-related research of J. David Rogers

Answer 2

Sorry, 7-10 pages are just not enough for Dams and Geology.
Pl. refer books on Engineering Geology- some basic books.
If you do not have any knowledge of what is Geology, then acquire that first. Then go for applied aspects as related to engineering geology particularly to Dams. Is a vast field and depending upon your interest and requirements you can find the materials in the library. For a civil engineer a 7-10 pages of text would not suffice.

Answer 3

seashores are a dynamic element. Water working down the coast erodes sand away and takes it farther down the coast. besides the undeniable fact that, that's usually the case that the eroded sand is replaced by utilising sediment from farther up the coast. One considerable source of this deposit is rivers. in case you rattling the river you block the source of sediment and consequently the replenishment of seashores. finally they're going to erode away devoid of replenishment and get narrower.
