Dam Protections against Overtopping and Accidental Leakage (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Toledo, Miguel Ángel; Oñate, Eugenio; Morán, Rafael

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the last decades, the technology of dam protection has undergone major advancements. The increasing demand for safety in modern society has created the need for cost-effective measures to protect critical infrastructure such as dams. This situation has resulted in the drafting of new regulations and technical manuals in countries like Norway, Sw
