Edenville and Sanford Dam Failures: Field Reconnaissance Report (GSP 327) (Geotechnical Special Publications, 327)
$90.00
Description
Book Synopsis: Following heavy rain over 2 days, the Edenville Dam experienced a slope instability on May 19, 2020 and failed catastrophically. Waters released by the breach of the Edenville Dam overwhelmed the Sanford Dam which was overtopped and failed on the morning of May 20, 2020 resulting in the evacuation of 11,000 people in the surrounding areas of Midland, Michigan, and along the Tittabawassee and Tobacco rivers.
Edenville and Sanford Dam Failures: Field Reconnaissance Report, GSP 327, presents the results of on-ground and aerial assessments that took place in the weeks following the failures. The team employed aerial reconnaissance using optical, thermal, and LiDAR sensors; geophysical testing including seismic surveys and electrical resistivity surveys; geological reconnaissance to assess the nature of the geological materials; geotechnical sampling and laboratory testing including, moisture, density, grain size distribution, shear strength, and permeability testing; post-failure condition assessments; and reviewed historical documents and pre-failure LiDAR and satellite data.
This Geotechnical Special Publication focuses on the application of multi-sensor techniques to collect perishable data immediately after a disaster. It illustrates a range of site characterization technologies and extensive data analysis that will be of interest to practitioners, researchers, and community stakeholders in areas where old earth dams are nearing the end of their design life.

Are you involved in the field of geotechnical engineering or disaster management? Don't miss out on the latest groundbreaking publication, Edenville and Sanford Dam Failures: Field Reconnaissance Report (GSP 327). This comprehensive book dives deep into the events surrounding the catastrophic failures of the Edenville and Sanford Dams, providing invaluable insights and analysis.
With heavy rains triggering an unprecedented slope instability, the Edenville Dam collapsed on May 19, 2020, leading to the subsequent failure of the Sanford Dam. The aftermath of these failures resulted in the evacuation of thousands of people in the Midland, Michigan area. Now, you can gain access to the firsthand accounts and expert evaluations conducted in the weeks following these devastating events.
Utilizing state-of-the-art technologies such as aerial reconnaissance with optical, thermal, and LiDAR sensors, as well as geophysical testing and extensive laboratory analysis, this report offers a comprehensive understanding of the conditions that led to the dam failures. By combining historical data, post-failure assessments, and cutting-edge site characterization techniques, this publication provides a rare opportunity to learn from and apply the findings in similar situations.
If you are a practitioner, researcher, or community stakeholder involved in dam safety or geotechnical analysis, this Geotechnical Special Publication is a must-have resource. Take advantage of this valuable knowledge and ensure that your projects and communities are prepared for any potential risks. Don't wait - get your copy of Edenville and Sanford Dam Failures: Field Reconnaissance Report (GSP 327) today!
