It is intended to provide an introduction to the engineering challenges of assessment and rehabilitation of embankments, with particular reference to a Croton Dam embankment.

Rehabilitation is, therefore, being a major growth industry for the future. In embankment dam engineering, neither the foundation nor the fills are premanufactured to standards or codes, and their performance correspondingly is never 100% predictable. Dam engineering—in particular, that related to earth structures—has evolved on many fronts and continues to do so, particularly in the context of the economical use of resources and the determination of acceptable levels of risk. Because of this, therefore, there remains a wide variety of opinion and practice among engineers working in the field. Many aspects of designing and constructing dams will probably always fall within that group of engineering problems for which there are no universally accepted or uniquely correct procedures. In spite of advances in related technologies, however, it is likely that the building of embankments and therefore their maintenance, monitoring, and assessment will remain an empirical process. It is, therefore, difficult to conceive of a set of rigorous assessment procedures for existing dams, if there are no design codes. Many agencies (the . Army Corps of Engineers, USBR, Tennessee Valley Authority, FERC, etc.) have developed checklists for field inspections, for example, and suggested formats and topics for assessment reporting. However, these cannot be taken as procedures。 often, a phased approach to the work is necessary, with monitoring and instrumentation evaluated as the work proceeds. In the rehabilitation of dams, the security of the existing dam must be an overriding concern. It is not unmon for the dam to have suffered significant distress—often due to the deficiencies that the rehabilitation measures are to address. The dam may be in poor condition at the outset and may possibly be in a marginally stable condition. Therefore, how the rehabilitation work may change the present conditions, both during construction and in the long term, must be assessed, to ensure that it does not adversely affect the safety of the dam. In the following text, a case
