ICOLD 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 and levees to internal erosion. It also advises on remediation, if analyses have demonstrated that it is necessary, and on surveillance and monitoring systems to check and confirm the continuing ability of the dam to resist internal erosion in the long-term.

The Working Group on Internal Erosion has brought together experts from all continents at annual meetings and their work provides the basis for most of Volume 2. Information on case histories has been most generously provided by owners and engineers, recognizing that such information will contribute to preventing tragic events in future. The work of specialists in laboratory testing and geophysics who have contributed actively to the Working Group over many years is now accessible to dam engineers in the chapters on investigations and monitoring in ICOLD Bulletin 164 Volume 2.

Le ICOLD Bulletin 164 Volume 2 presente des cas de ruptures et d'incidents par erosion interne et donne des conseils sur les reconnaissances, les prelevements et les essais qui peuvent fournir les donnees necessaires a l'analyse de la tenue des barrages et digues a l'erosion interne. Il donne egalement des conseils sur les mesures correctives, quand elles sont jugees necessaires par l'evaluation du risque d'erosion interne, et sur les systemes de surveillance et de controle permettant de verifier et de confirmer la capacite permanente du barrage a resister a l'erosion interne a long terme. Le groupe de travail sur l'erosion interne a reuni des experts de tous les continents et leurs travaux constituent la base de la majeure partie du volume 2. Les maitres d'ouvrage et les ingenieurs ont genereusement fourni des informations sur les etudes de cas, reconnaissant que ces informations contribueront a prevenir a l'avenir de tels evenements tragiques. Le travail des geotechniciens et des geophysiciens, qui ont activement contribue au groupe de travail pendant de nombreuses annees, est maintenant accessible aux ingenieurs des barrages dans les chapitres du ICOLD Bulletin 164 Volume 2 sur les reconnaissances et la surveillance.
