For decades, applications of nondestructive evaluation-civil engineering (NDE-CE) focus on
object identifications (such as steel bars, tendon ducts and backwall reflections) in …

To evaluate the vulnerability of the earthen levee of an irrigation canal in San Giacomo delle
Segnate, Italy, a customized electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) monitoring system was …

The managing and monitoring of natural and artificial river levees are crucial in order to
reduce the hydrological risk. As these hydraulic structures are very extensive, the typically …

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 …

Seismic waves are commonly used to investigate how the soils behave during the
earthquake. The goal of this study is to predict the porosity of shallow clay soils from seismic …

The slow escape of a liquid or gas through a porous material or small openings is called
seepage. It is a process of seeping in soil engineering whereby water in soils move …

The area inside and around the church of Kapnikarea in Athens (Greece), was explored by
means of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT).'Flat base'electrodes were used exclusively …

This study devises a new analytical relationship to determine the porosity of water-saturated
soils at shallow depth using seismic compressional and shear wave velocities. Seismic …

The use of geophysical methods in dam sites investigations and safety monitory has proved
their good value and versatility in many earthfill dam sites as early as the 1920s. In the …

The objective of this work was to characterize and understand the origin of the water losses
problem in the Afamia B dam located at Al-Ghab basin in Syria. The survey involved various …
