The National Dam Safety Program Research Needs Workshop: Seepage through Embankment Dams
This workshop report documents expert
consideration of (1) potential seepage problems and
solutions associated with penetrations through
embankment dams, e.g., outlet works conduits;
(2) filter design criteria and observed performance;
(3) inspection of dams for detection of seepage
problems, failure modes associated with seepage and
internal erosion, and analysis of risks associated with
seepage and internal erosion; (4) investigation of
seepage problems and concerns at dams, including
the use of geophysical techniques, and
instrumentation and measurements for evaluation of
seepage performance; (5) remediation of seepage problems through cutoff,
reduction of flow, and collection and control of seepage, including the use of
geosynthetics; and (6) impacts of the aging of seepage control and collection
system components on seepage performance.
