The US Dam Safety community has similar needs and activities to
those of the European (EU) Dam Safety community. There has been an
emphasis in the EU community on investigation of extreme flood
processes and the uncertainties related to these processes. The
purpose of this project was to cooperate with the organizations
involved in these investigations over a three year period. The
purpose of this cooperation was to: 1) coordinate US and EU efforts
and collect information necessary to integrate data and knowledge
with US activities and interests related to embankment overtopping
and failure analysis, 2) Utilize the data obtained by both groups
to improve embankment failure analysis methods, and 3) provide
dissemination of these activities and their results to the US dam
safety community. Dissemination was to be accomplished by: 1)
Conducting a special workshop at a professional society meeting
involving invited speakers from Europe and the United States. This
session was held as a one day workshop at the Annual Conference of
the Association of State Dam Safety Officials 2004 Dam Safety. The
title of the day long workshop was; "Workshop on International
Progress in Dam Breach Evaluation." Ten presentations were included
in the workshop (see appendix for manuscripts). 2) A final report
integrating EU and US research findings and results related to
earthen embankment overtopping failure over the 3-year period would
be developing and reporting in the form of a FEMA/USDA document.
