Análise sobre a Política Nacional de Segurança de Barragens com ênfase nos critérios de monitoramento/instrumentação

Abstract

Technological evolution has enabled the advancement of security systems in practically all areas of knowledge. Dam engineering has also absorbed these new technologies. However, dam failures still occur. Thus, knowledge of current legislation and monitoring methods is essential. The legislation defines that the safety control of existing dams must be done through reports prepared by professionals with technical responsibility. This work addresses the main dam monitoring equipment, plus a brief overview of the technological advances of this type of equipment. With this, a study is carried out on the main equipment used to monitor the stability of dams, as well as an analysis of the National Dam Safety Policy, defined by Law No. 12,334, of 2010.It’s noted that there is a great similarity between current national legislation and Canadian ones.
