Presentations will cover collecting and processing data for structural surveillance and monitoring, as well as the development and validation of models for analysis. This session will discuss real-world dynamic testing of three submerged concrete intake towers and the development of corresponding analysis models and a case study considering the Nyagak hydropower project, a concrete gravity dam.
