O Uso Do Potencial Espontâneo (Sp) Em Caso De Infiltração Em Barragem

This paper presents the application of the self<br>potential method (SP) for leaking in an earth’s dam.<br>The tests were carried out in part of the embankment<br>which was submitted to a partial failure originated by<br>a leakage. It was employed the gradients technique in<br>this survey. The results showed the efficiency of the<br>SP method to detect the anomalous flow from the<br>reservoir and to indicate the leaking area.
