This monograph presents a comprehensive synthesis of protection methodologies for embankment dams subjected to overtopping scenarios. Drawing upon empirical data, numerical modeling, and case studies from international practice, the work examines both conventional and innovative armor systems. The technical framework encompasses hydrodynamic analysis, geotechnical considerations, and performance evaluation criteria. Special attention is given to the physical mechanisms governing erosion resistance and structural stability under extreme flow conditions. This compendium is intended as a reference for practitioners and researchers engaged in the design, analysis, and long-term management of embankment dam protections.
