Earth/rock-fill dams and embankments are the main water retaining structures in hydraulic
projects, and they can effectively resist floods and are of great significance for protecting …

Leakage-induced soil erosion poses a major threat to dike failure, particularly during floods.
Timely detection and notification of leakage outlets to dike management are crucial for …

The actively heated fiber-optic (AHFO) technology has emerged as a frontier and hotspot in
soil water content measurement, offering advantages such as easy installation, large-scale …

Since one of the main threats to the safety of earth-rock dams is leakage, its timely and
accurate identification is crucial. Distributed fiber optic sensing system (DFOS) is considered …

Pore water pressure is the main driving force for soil collapse in nature. River dikes, earth
dams, and the foundation of structures built in water are eroded by internal infiltration into …

Levees are essential structures in flood defense systems, and their failures can lead to
devastating consequences on the surrounding territories. One of the failure mechanisms …

Improving knowledge of existing levees through investigation and monitoring is an important
step in evaluating their safety and that of the surrounding area. Nevertheless, these activities …

The hydro-thermal coupled seepage condition assessment based on the fiber optic
Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) is becoming popular, particularly in field-scale …

Leaking erosion is one of the most harmful factors causing levee breaches. To ensure the
safety of levees, rapid leakage detection and evaluation is imperative. In current practice …
