" Upon feeling movement of the dike stones, the smart stone sends an alarm to the command center for quick response, " Wang said.

“只要坝石、坝体稍有异常，就会发出预警并自动推送至有关部门，实现对河道工程险情全天候实时监测预警，达到抢早抢小的目的。” 王琴说。

The independent forensic team took samples of  the soils within the Edenville Dam embankment and subjected them to testing to see if they were  liquefiable.

独立法医团队采了Edenville大坝坝体内的土，并对其进行测试，以确定这些土是否会发生液化。

We include  rock riprap or other armoring on the upstream face so that waves and swift water in the reservoir  can't erode the vulnerable embankment.

我们在上游坡面设置了护石或其它护面措施，以防止水库中的波浪和急流侵蚀脆弱的坝体。

The team concluded that as the level of Wixom Lake rose that fateful May evening, it  increased the hydraulic load on the embankment, putting more stress on the earthen structure than  it had ever been asked to withstand.

团队得出结论， 随着那个命运多舛的五月傍晚Wixom湖水位上升，它增加了对坝体的水力负荷，给这个土石结构带来了比以往任何时候都更大的压力。
