Remote Induction Sounding of Dams and Study of Frequency Effects

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

The results of geophysical surveys at five hydraulic structures of the Middle Urals are presented. The main purpose was to use induction sounding to study the polarization-frequency properties of earth-fill dams for safety assessment.
