Description

Join us on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Eastern for Voids Beneath Spillway Slabs: Evaluation, Interim, and Long-term Risk Reduction Considerations. This webinar will introduce lessons learned related to voids beneath spillway slabs. Case histories will be presented highlighting different detection, monitoring, interim and long-term repair techniques. The development and subsequent evaluation of potential failure modes associated with voids beneath spillways will be presented along with a discussion of different interim risk reduction and long-term repair considerations and alternatives. Case histories will include various state and private owner examples.

Learning objectives attendees will receive from this webinar:

  • Gain an awareness of Potential Failure Modes (PFMs) associated with voids underneath spillways and learn how to use analysis results to assess these PFMs.
  • Become more familiar with different field exploration approaches and non-destructive techniques for detecting and monitoring voids using case histories to illustrate key principles.
  • Recognize the advantages and limitations of various monitoring methods.
  • Learn about the evaluation of different interim and long-term repair alternatives.
  • Understand the complexity and coordination required when evaluating interim risk reduction measures.
  • Broaden knowledge regarding the theory, application, and design of defensive measures.

PDHS AVAILABLE:

  • This course qualifies for 2 PDHs.
