The production of this Bulletin is a joint effort by the Committees on Hydraulics for Dams and on Dams and Floods to pool resources in producing an overview of the state of the art, latest research and industry developments relating to the subject...Loe edasi...
ICOLD Bulletin 195 is the second of a series of planned bulletins, and introduces material properties (binders, soils), properties of cemented soil, structural design of a Cemented Soil Dam (CSD), investigation, construction, quality control and p...Loe edasi...
Since 2005 the Committee on Dam Safety has been collecting information on dam incidents and considered that it was time to update this last publication (Bulletin 99) which listed the cases of failures up to 1991. It was therefore up to this committe...Loe edasi...
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide the dam engineering community with information on the technical characteristics of the various types of spillways that have been developed and implemented over the past four decades, as well as the hydrau...Loe edasi...
Approximately 5000 years ago, a small dam was built in the Indus river valley, using asphalt as a mortar between stones. That was one of the first utilization of asphalt as an impervious material. However, the first “modern” asphalt concrete core...Loe edasi...
The purpose of ICOLD Bulletin 169 is to assess the role of dams and reservoirs in adapting to the effects of global climate change, determine the threats, and potential opportunities, posed by global climate change to existing dams and reservoirs,...Loe edasi...
The bulletin is structured to present the global and local role of water storage in the modern world and provide the basis for multi-purpose developments in the context of the hydrological cycle, the water-energy nexus, stakeholder engagement and...Loe edasi...
Bulletin 145 addresses physical properties of mass concrete most frequently used in the design and analysis of concrete dams and appurtenant structures, including methods for experimental determination and methodes to introduce the properties into...Loe edasi...
ICOLD Bulletin 194, Tailings Dam Safety, aims to assist the international community to further develop and adopt safe practices for tailings dam planning, design, construction, operation, and closure with a focus on the technical aspects that are...Loe edasi...
Bulletin 165 discusses the selection of hydraulic binders and mineral additions as well as adjuvants and wasting water in the construction of both conventional concrete (CVC) and rolled compacted concrete (RCC) dams, and provides project actors wi...Loe edasi...
ICOLD Bulletin 187 begins with a section defining the design flood, followed by three main chapters. The second chapter examines the main aspects of flood volume. The third chapter looks in more detail at stochastic approaches to flood risk assess...Loe edasi...
ICOLD Bulletin 167 provides a comprehensive review of legal and regulatory arrangements for the safety of dams among the countries represented at ICOLD. As such, this review is essentially a snapshot of the situation being in place at the end of t...Loe edasi...
COLD Bulletin 164 Volume 2 presents case histories of internal erosion failures and incidents, and advises on the investigations, sampling and testing that can be used to provide the data needed to carry out analyses of the vulnerability of dams a...Loe edasi...
ICOLD Bulletin 159, Supplement to the Position Paper on Dams and the Environment, summarizes the role of dams in the future in the context of the global environmental changes which have become a significant issue in recent years. Global pro...Loe edasi...
This bulletin gives an overview of the main functional and operational aspects relating to cascade hydropower stations and reservoirs, it was formed by reviewing of all the related aspects proposed and case studies provided by committee members....Loe edasi...
A framework for classifying different types of tailings, ranging from ultra-fine to coarse, based on their geotechnical properties and provides typical geotechnical parameters for the different tailings types. Technologies for dewatering tai...Loe edasi...
ICOLD Bulletin 147 discusses the upstream and downstream fluvial morphological impacts of reservoir sedimentation and possible mitigation measures, and aims at hydraulic and dam engineers, in particular those with an interest in the sustainable use o...Loe edasi...
