Acoustic monitoring of a failing dike

conference paper
The ‘IJkdijk’ in Groningen, The Netherlands, is an international fieldlab for new inspection and monitoring techniques for water barriers [1]. The goal is to learn more of their behaviour and to increase confidence in dikes. The dike of the future is filled with many sensors which are used for monitoring and to predict failure of the dike. During the initial experiments a lot of parameters are measured, with all kind of sensors. The current paper deals with the acoustic experiments in the dike during the macro-stability experiment in September 2008 while a complete collapse of the dike was forced.
