Conclusions
-
1.
Inspections of the Zhitomir dam showed that during its 15-yr operation the negligible cracks that appeared have not affected the strength of the structure, which confirmed the main theoretical and constructional decisions made during design and construction.
-
2.
To improve monitoring of the condition of the hydraulic structures, it is recommended to equip them with measuring instruments (height markers, piezometers).
