3 Month’s Online Course on Dam Geophysics

India occupies third position globally with 5254 large dams in operation and 447 dams under construction. Over 80% of our existing dams are more than 25 years old and many of them may be experiencing distress and require assessment of their condition for their operational performance and safety. Traditionally, dam operators have relied on visual observations for assessing condition of dams. In complex structures like dams, reliance on physical manifestation of underlying internal structural problems can be catastrophic. Geophysical techniques can be used for assessing condition of these structures in non-destructive manner. These techniques have been used very effectively for all types of dams. Even if the dam is not showing any sign of distress, it is advisable to know the health of the dam internal condition.

This course is desiged to train you in non-desctructive techniques for assessing conditions of Dams.
