Most dam accidents with hydroelectric plants are due to
under-dimensioning of the maximum floods of spillway design,
causing extravasation and dam breaks (this occurs in 23% of the
accidents). This work highlights the relationship between spillway
design and potential dam failure and other important aspects of
these structures and presents the methodology of design based on
the international experience on the subject. The book covers river
basin studies and floods (the geology, geomorphology, hydrology,
hydraulics, and layouts of the works). Further, spillway function,
capacity and design flood, layouts, or arrangements, of
hydroelectric works and types of spillways are treated in the book.
Finally, the book discusses examples of dams that broke due to
insufficient spillway capacity. The book is intended for engineers
and the companies that design dams and power plants around the
world, as well as students in dam and hydraulic engineering. In
short, people interested in producing electricity that is clean and
potentially cheaper than other sources.
