Internal Erosion Workshop 2026

Description

Description: Internal Erosion Workshop (DLS-208) establishes the essential skills for assessing internal erosion potential failure modes in support of dam and levee risk assessments. It provides pertinent background related to physics and mechanics of internal erosion mechanisms, summarizes important case histories, and identifies best practices for estimating probabilities of failure during a risk analysis. Physics-based analytical models of the RMC Internal Erosion Suite of toolboxes are central to assessing internal erosion potential failure modes, and an in-depth understanding of their application is essential to informing judgment for sound and consistent RIDM

 Audience: DLS-208 is designed for geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists, with 5 to 15 years of experience, who are involved in semi-quantitative and quantitative risk assessment of internal erosion potential failure modes, either as facilitators or subject matter experts according to RMC-TR-2021-01. It is also beneficial to staff performing supporting technical analysis for risk assessments. Potential attendees include FERC licensees; private, municipal, and state dam owners; state and federal dam safety engineers, dam owners, levee sponsors, and regulators; and consultants experienced in dam and/or levee safety evaluations.
