Methodology Applied to the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Dikes and Dams
2012
The recent and dramatic floods of the last years in Europe (Windstorm Xynthia, February 2010) and United-States (Hurricane Katrina, August 2005) showed the vulnerability of flood defence systems. The first key point for avoiding these dramatic damages and the high cost of a failure and its consequences lies in the conception and construction of the dams and dikes, taking into account the past flooding events. A well-designed dike with the correct height avoids failure and overtopping.
