ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The Riulonato dam, built in 1918-20, was the first multiple arch dam in Italy. Although regular maintenance works have been carried out, the more than 80 years old structure is presently no longer in condition to fulfil the current Italian dam regulation. After the description of the dam and of the observed ageing process as well as the analysis for the dam rehabilitation, the paper discusses the main features of the proposed rehabilitation design, showing the main project features.
