The potential triggering causes of dam collapses: insights into the rock mass weaknesses and given hydraulic or geophysical processes with projection to October 8, 2023, uphill lake dam collapse at Mbankolo, Cameroon
Key Points
Dam collapse is influenced by rock mass weaknesses and hydraulic processes, indicating long-term risks.
Key evidence suggests that weaknesses in rock mass directly contribute to structural failure in dam systems.
Assessment using geological surveys and hydraulic measurements highlights the vulnerability of the Mbankolo dam.
The findings underscore the need for enhanced monitoring of dam integrity to prevent future collapses.
