This book offers a timely report on methods for risk assessment
procedures for dams, with a special emphasis on dams with small
storage dimensions. It starts by introducing all important
definitions relating to dams, dam safety, such as the most common
failure modes, and risks. In turn, it describes in detail the most
important evaluation procedures for various failure modes such as
piping, flood, earthquake and stability are described in this
chapter. Consequence assessment procedures, together with the
different steps of the risk evaluation process, are analyzed,
providing a guide on how to identify the appropriate failure mode
for the examined dam and setting up the appropriate safety plan.
The book introduces the most common methods for predicting peak
breach discharge, analyzing some relevant case studies. Upon
comparing the findings obtained with the different methods, the
book concludes with some general suggestions and ideas for future
developments. This book fills an important gap between theoretical
works and real-life problems being investigating in practical
research studies on dam safety and risk management. It provides
readers with the necessary knowledge on risk analysis and shows how
to apply this in practice to carry out dam safety studies. It
offers practical guidelines to set up risk assessment procedures
for different failure modes and predicting failure parameters such
as failure time, peak breach discharge and breach width.
