This monograph provides a comprehensive synthesis of protection methodologies for embankment dams subjected to overtopping scenarios. Combining empirical data, numerical modeling, and international case studies, the book examines both conventional and innovative armor systems, including soft and hard protection technologies. It covers hydrodynamic analysis, geotechnical considerations, and performance evaluation criteria, serving as a technical reference for engineers and researchers focused on the design, safety, and long-term management of dam infrastructure.
