The challenge has been to develop methods that ensure safe, effective, reliable, and robust solutions for current and future remediation issues. A wide range of methods has been developed in response to the challenges that arise in the dam and levee remediation arena and the need for a competitive edge. The book also provides a comprehensive guide to dam and levee instrumentation, covering planning, operating principles, data management, staffing, and automation. This book captures this transformation by examining the theory and practice of contemporary remedial techniques, using recent U.S. case histories to provide knowledge and inspiration to readers, both in North America and around the world.. Given the vastness and complexity of the infrastructures involved, keeping up with maintenance needs is very difficult. Specialty Construction Techniques for Dam and Levee Remediation presents the state of practice in North American dam and levee remediation as it relates to the use of specialty geotechnical construction techniques, such as anchors, grouting, cutoff (diaphragm) walls, and deep mixing. Major surges in repair are usually triggered by nature’s wake-up calls, such as hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes. As an educational and salu
