Earthen dams and levees are prone to progressive failure through internal erosion of their
structure. Internal erosion is often invisible to current methods of inspection until it manifests …

This study concerns with an integrated geophysical approach for the detection and spatial-
temporal characterization of the water infiltration into the Monte Cotugno dam embankment …

Levees/earth dams are critical infrastructures for supplementing clean water, flood
management, and energy production, prone to progressive failures due to internal erosion …

New methods are required to combine the information contained in the passive electrical
and seismic signals to detect, localize and monitor hydromechanical disturbances in porous …

Geophysical sensor technologies can be used to understand the structural integrity of Earth
Dams and Levees (EDLs). We are part of an interdisciplinary team researching techniques …

Geophysical methods have been used in civil engineering for decades. The main field of
application is-to no surprise–in geotechnical projects from site characterization to foundation …

This dissertation presents research involving laboratory and field investigation of passive
and active methods for monitoring and assessing earthen embankment infrastructure such …

Piping is a kind of internal erosion that occurs under water retaining structures lying on a
sandy soil. In an attempt to reproduce the growth of erosion channels in sand, a small scale …

This thesis investigates the use of optical remote sensing as proxies for the inspection
indicators of cover quality and soil moisture so as to facilitate the inspection of grass covered …

In this dissertation, we describe our research contributions for a novel approach to the
application of machine learning for the automatic detection of anomalous events. We work in …
